Estrategias de responsabilidad social empresarial de multinacionales en Países de economía emergente
Authors: Aldana Barrios Jessica , Reina Blandón Stephanie , Juliao Rossi Jorge
Published: July 2017

La responsabilidad social empresarial la constituyen “las acciones desarrolladas por negocios para consolidar sus relaciones con las sociedades en las que actúan” (OCDE, 2002, p. 5). Debido a los grandes cambios económicos, sociales y políticos de las tres últimas décadas, se ha generado mayor discusión e interés investigativo respecto al tema de acciones empresariales (Garavito, 2012). Especial atención ha suscitado el estudio de la acción responsable de las empresas multinacionales (en adelante EMN) en países de economía emergente. A este respecto, en este artículo se hace una revisión de investigaciones
empíricas publicadas en el período 2001-2016, con los siguientes objetivos:
a) ordenar la evidencia empírica en relación con las estrategias de RSE de las EMN en países de economía emergente, b) identificar las diferentes estrategias de RSE implementadas por las EMN en países en emergentes y c) analizar los efectos de las estrategias de RSE y las motivaciones que tienen las EMN al implementarlas. Para lo anterior, se siguió rigurosamente la metodología de revisión sistemática propuesta por Tranfield, Denyer y Smart (2003) y Becheikh, Landry y Amara (2006). Se identificaron cuatro estrategias genéricas: 1) beneficio social, 2) dirigidas a grupos afectados directamente por las operaciones de la empresa, 3) educación y 4) salud. Esta revisión proporciona
resultados importantes para el diseño de políticas enfocadas en la necesidad de que las EMN se hagan cargo de los impactos reales de sus actuaciones y no exclusivamente de su imagen corporativa.
Sequence-Based Mapping and Genome Editing Reveal Mutations in SticklebackHps5Cause Oculocutaneous Albinism and thecasperPhenotype
Authors: Hart James C , Miller Craig T
Published: July 2017

Here, we present and characterize the spontaneous X-linked recessive mutation casper, which causes oculocutaneous albinism in threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus). In humans, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome results in pigmentation defects due to disrupted formation of the melanin-containing lysosomal-related organelle (LRO), the melanosome. casper mutants display not only reduced pigmentation of melanosomes in melanophores, but also reductions in the iridescent silver color from iridophores, while the yellow pigmentation from xanthophores appears unaffected. We mapped casper using high-throughput sequencing of genomic DNA from bulked casper mutants to a region of the stickleback X chromosome (chromosome 19) near the stickleback ortholog of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 5 (Hps5). casper mutants have an insertion of a single nucleotide in the sixth exon of Hps5, predicted to generate an early frameshift. Genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 induced lesions in Hps5 and phenocopied the casper mutation. Injecting single or paired Hps5 guide RNAs revealed higher incidences of genomic deletions from paired guide RNAs compared to single gRNAs. Stickleback Hps5 provides a genetic system where a hemizygous locus in XY males and a diploid locus in XX females can be used to generate an easily scored visible phenotype, facilitating quantitative studies of different genome editing approaches. Lastly, we show the ability to better visualize patterns of fluorescent transgenic reporters in Hps5 mutant fish. Thus, Hps5 mutations present an opportunity to study pigmented LROs in the emerging stickleback model system, as well as a tool to aid in assaying genome editing and visualizing enhancer activity in transgenic fish.

Fishery sustainability is determined by several interacting factors, such as ecology, technology, social, economic and legal-institution. The objective of this study was to determine the sustainability status of small scale fishery according to ecological, technological, social, economic, and legal-institutional dimensions. The second objective was to identify policy promoting for the capture fisheries sustainability. Sustainability of fishery in the coastal area of Tegal district analyzed quantitatively by Rap fish technique. Fishing gears, such as Jaring Rampus, Bundes and Payang Gemplo weren’t in sustainable status from ecological, economic, technical and legal- institutional standpoints. The study showed that ecological aspect has the lowest score in order to support small scale fishery sustainability in the coastal water of Tegal. Differences in sustainability status are likely due to variations in main characteristic of the fisheries. Several sensitive attributes and recommendations in order to support fisheries sustainability, also identified in this study. This study reconfirms the need to apply comprehensive and integrated bio-technico-socioeconomic aspects in developing fisheries management.
ASSOCIAÇÃO ENTRE DOMÍNIO DE CAPACIDADE FUNCIONAL (SF-36), MEDO DE CAIR E HISTÓRICO DE QUEDAS EM IDOSOS ATIVOS
Authors: Cardoso Fernanda Pinheiro , Kruger Gonçalves Andréa
Published: July 2017

RESUMO Objetivos: Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a associação entre domínio de capacidade funcional, medo de cair, idade e histórico de quedas de idosos ativos. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo, quantitativo. A amostra (n=152) foi dividida em idosos caidores (n=28) e idosos não caidores (n=124), onde se utilizou do domínio de capacidade funcional do questionário de Avaliação de Qualidade de Vida (Brasil SF-36), da escala de eficácia em quedas – Internacional – Brasil (FES – I – Brasil) e do relato de ocorrência de quedas. Para a relação dos dados se utilizou da Correlação de Pearson no programa SPSS 17.0. Resultados: Pode-se observar que embora tenha sido apresentada significância estatística, a correlação de Pearson não mostrou relação significante entre o domínio de capacidade funcional, o medo de cair e a idade na comparação dos grupos de caidores e não caidores. Dessa maneira a hipótese de que a prevalência de quedas poderia influenciar na capacidade funcional e no medo de cair não pode ser confirmada. Considerações finais: A amostra estudada identificou baixa prevalência de quedas, os grupos apresentaram um bom nível de independência funcional. Os valores médios obtidos através dos questionários são muito semelhantes, ligeiramente mais favoráveis aos idosos não caidores, no entanto, ambos apresentaram preocupação com a queda.

Published: July 2017

Introdução: Os avanços da tecnologia estão influenciando a maneira de se comportar e de se relacionar dos indivíduos, modificando o estilo e qualidade de vida (QV) destes. Objetivo: Analisar a percepção da qualidade de vida em escolares da cidade de Fortaleza, Ceará. Métodos: Estudo de delineamento transversal e natureza quantitativa realizado com 14.348 escolares (53,1% do sexo masculino; 13 >18 anos), matriculados em 123 escolas da rede pública estadual de ensino da cidade de Fortaleza. Para a análise da percepção da qualidade de vida os escolares responderam a uma pergunta objetiva. Inicialmente, visando verificar se existia um relacionamento entre determinadas variáveis (sexo, faixa etária, prática de atividade física) e a percepção da qualidade de vida, recorreu-se ao teste do qui-quadrado. Todos os dados foram realizados com o auxílio do programa SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) for Windows versão 21.0 que também auxiliou na análise descritiva. O nível de significância foi determinado em 5% (p < 0,05). Resultados: Participaram do estudo 14.348 adolescentes, sendo 7.620 (53,1%) do sexo feminino. A maior parte da amostra tinha idade entre 16 a 18 anos (65,0%) e cursavam o 1º ano (41,9%). 43,7% pertenciam ao turno da tarde, 78,7% participavam das aulas de educação física e 79,9 % dos adolescentes não trabalhavam. Em todos os fatores associados (sexo, idade e prática de atividade física) à percepção, a maior parte da amostra afirmou possuir uma boa qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Os resultados obtidos com a realização deste estudo permitiram inferir que, de maneira geral, não há diferença entre os gêneros, faixa etária ou prática de atividade física para percepção da QV de estudantes. Em adição, as atividades de educação em saúde no ambiente escolar são práticas de promoção da saúde indutoras de processos de transformação coletiva que incidem sobre as condições de vida da população.
Efeito do exercício físico nos níveis plasmático de Dimetilarginina Assimétrica (ADMA) e suas consequências na disfunção endotelial: uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Souto Filho José Morais , Aguiar Samuel Da Silva , De Sousa Caio Victor , Sales Marcelo Magalhães , Rosa Thiago Dos Santos , Simões Herbert Gustavo
Published: July 2017

Introdução: O endotélio contribui com a homeostase vascular por promover alterações funcionais adaptativas por meio da liberação de substâncias autócrinas e parácrinas com ações vasoativas. Dentre as principais substâncias produzidas e liberadas pelo endotélio estão o ativador de plasminigênio (t-PA), prostaciclina (PGI2) e o óxido nítrico (NO). A perda da atividade biológica do NO é denominada de disfunção endotelial e vem sendo apontado como evento desencadeador de doenças cardiovasculares. Metodologia: Foi feita uma busca nos bancos de dados PubMed, Lilacs e Scielo. Como descritores foram utilizados os termos “dimetilarginina assimétrica” associado com exercício físico. Resultados: Os artigos selecionados foram obtidos na íntegra e incluídos na amostra. Cinco tiveram como intervenção exercício aeróbios e dois exercício de força e um que utilizou a metodologia mista tanto o treinamento aeróbio como de força fizeram parte da intervenção. Os níveis plasmáticos de ADMA foram avaliados em todos os estudos. Discursões: Os resultados dessa revisão sistemática indica que indivíduos que praticam exercícios físicos aeróbios regularmente com intensidade moderada parecem ter seus níveis plasmáticos de ADMA reduzidos significativamente. Dessa forma a prática de exercício físico poderia contribuir para uma redução da concentração de ADMA influenciando os níveis de NO e redução da incidência da disfunção endotelial. Conclusão: Foi possível evidenciar que o exercício físico aeróbio pode ter um importante papel na redução dos níveis plasmático de ADMA nos indivíduos submetidos a um programa regular de exercício aeróbio moderada apesar dos mecanismos pelos quais ocorra esta redução não está claro.

DETERMINATION AND RANGING OF ORGANIZATIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS THAT DEFINE THE RATIONAL DECISIONS OF RE-BARS CONNECTION
Authors: Radkevych A. V. , Netesa A. M.
Published: July 2017

Purpose. The paper proposes: 1) determination and formulation of factors that influence the choice of rational method for joining re-bars of vertical support members of reinforced concrete frame; 2) determination of factor parameters; 3) ranging of factors by the expert evaluation (Delphi) method. Methodology. In order to achieve research objectives, it is necessary to carry out analysis of existent rebar connection methods, determination of factors and parameter variation limits for each of the methods. Performing factor ranking by the expert evaluation method. Findings. The results of the questioning materials of 14 experts in the area of monolithic construction allowed setting the following: when choosing the rational re-bars connections, the most significant values are the factors that define the time parameters: possibility of carcassing, time of joining the re-bars, length of rebar cage, prior operation run time, operation time of main lifting equipment. Herewith the factors that define the rebar cage parameters have a direct relation to the work performance time, as they determine the amount of bar connections in the course of building erection over wide range. Economic factors – rebar connection cost and quality control cost – have the less value. It is obvious that in the conditions of considerable construction expenses it is advantageous for an investor to increase the rebar joining cost for the work growth rate. Structural and technological factors have the least value: origin of eccentric load transmission between re-bars, possibility of use of the thermally work-hardened re-bars of А500 and higher grades, work category for implementation of works, necessity to use the scaffold and appurtenances for re-enforcement of constructions. The reason is analogical: a contractor is ready to go to complication of technology with the purpose of reduction of the facility erection terms. As the calculated Pearson’s matching criterion χ2 = 47.24 is higher than the tabular one (22.36203), then the obtained concordance coefficient W=0.26 is not casual value, and that is why the obtained results make sense and can be used in further researches. Originality. The author obtained factors that influence the choice of the rational method for re-bars connection the most. Practical value. Ranging of factors will allow objective approaching to the problem of choice of re-bars connection method, optimizing the labour and material costs, and also reducing the construction time.

Authors: S. V. Myamlin  , O. Lunys  , L. O. Neduzha
Published: July 2017

Purpose. To determine the dynamic qualities of the main locomotives that characterize safety traffic along straight and curved track sections in the entire range of operational speeds, it is necessary to perform a whole range of studies. One of the necessary conditions for a qualitative improvement of the traction rolling stock of railways is the determination of the parameters of its running gears. Among the issues related to this problem, the important task is to determine the dynamic qualities of locomotives at the design stage, taking into account the selected technical solutions in the design of running gears. At the same time, special attention is paid to the connections of the body with bogie, in particular, using the inclined rods. Methodology. Mathematical modeling is carried out by the method of numerical integration of the equations of the mathematical model of locomotive spatial oscillations to determine the dynamic loading of the mainline locomotive using the software package "Dynamics of Rail Vihicles" ("DYNRAIL"). Findings. The research results show that in order to create a simple and reliable design of running gears, which will reduce maintenance and repair costs, will have low initial cost and operating costs for the whole life cycle, high traction force as close as possible to the ultimate force in traction, will make it possible to operate in the multiple traction mode, the designers and scientists should implement scientific and technical solutions. Originality. In accordance with researches authors formed general classification formation of body/bogie connections and the general classification of structures of inclined rod of locomotives. Practical value. Generalization of the results of theoretical, scientific-methodical, experimental studies aimed at further improving the running gears of long-distance locomotives of perspective structures is urgent in improving the rolling stock constructions. The research carried out by the authors concerning improvement of the structural features of the running gear elements of some types for modern mainline locomotives are of practical value and can be used in the development of traction rolling stock.

Published: July 2017

Abstract The relationship of cognitive function to depression in older adults has become a topic of extensive clinical interest and research. Objective: To analyze association between cognitive/memory performance, Major Depression, and education in 206 inpatients from the Psychiatry and Internal Medicine Departments. Methods: Patients were evaluated by the Mini Mental State Examination, a battery of memory tests, and the MontgomeryÅsberg Depression Rating Scale. Depression patients comprised 45 severe and 42 mild/moderate, according to the Montgomery-Asberg scale. The effect of psychoactive drugs was recorded (30% drug-free). Education was measured in years. Cognitive/memory tests assessed five domains: general mental functioning, attention, sustained attention/working memory, learning memory (verbal), and remote memory. An index for memory impairment was created (positivity: 50% of tests below cutoff). Results: The chief effect on worse performance was Major Depression for the domains (age and education adjusted) of attention, learning, remote memory, and general functioning. For the domain "sustained attention and working memory", only severely depressed patients differed from the medical controls (p=.008). Education showed an independent effect on test performances. No interaction between depression and educational status was observed. We also observed an independent effect of psychoactive drugs on some cognitive/ memory domains. Logistic Regression showed Major Depression as the main risk for cognitive impairment. Conclusions: These data demonstrated association of Major Depression with impaired cognitive performance independent of educational attainment or psychiatric medications.

Abstract Lexical access difficulties are frequent in normal aging and initial stages of dementia. Verbal fluency tests are valuable to detect cognitive decline, evidencing lexico-semantic and executive dysfunction. Objectives: To establish which language tests can contribute in detecting dementia and to verify schooling influence on subject performance. Method: 74 subjects: 33 controls, 17 Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) 0.5 and 24 (Brief Cognitive Battery - BCB e Boston Naming Test - BNT) 1 were compared in tests of semantic verbal fluency (animal and fruit), picture naming (BCB and BNT) and the language items of Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Results: There were significant differences between the control group and both CDR 0.5 and CDR 1 in all tests. Cut-off scores were: 11 and 10 for animal fluency, 8 for fruit fluency (in both), 8 and 9 for BCB naming. The CDR 0.5 group performed better than the CDR 1 group only in animal fluency. Stepwise multiple regression revealed fruit fluency, animal fluency and BCB naming as the best discriminators between patients and controls (specificity: 93.8%; sensitivity: 91.3%). In controls, comparison between illiterates and literates evidenced schooling influence in all tests, except for fruit fluency and BCB naming. In patients with dementia, only fruit fluency was uninfluenced by schooling. Conclusion: The combination of verbal fluency tests in two semantic categories along with a simple picture naming test is highly sensitive in detecting cognitive decline. Comparison between literate and illiterate subjects shows a lesser degree of influence of schooling on the selected tests, thus improving discrimination between low performance and incipient cognitive decline.

Published: July 2017

Abstract The association of visual agnosia and prosopagnosia with cerebral metastasis is very rare. The presence of symmetric and bilateral cerebral metastases of melanoma is also uncommon. We report the case of a 34 year-old man who was admitted to hospital with seizures and a three-month history of headache, with blurred vision during the past month. A previous history of melanoma resection was obtained. CT of the skull showed bilateral heterogeneous hypodense lesions in the occipito-temporal regions, with a ring pattern of contrast enhancement. Surgical resection of both metastatic lesions was performed after which the patient developed visual agnosia and prosopagnosia. On follow-up, he showed partial recovery of visual agnosia, while prosopagnosia was still evident. The relevance of this case is the rare presentation of metastatic malignant melanoma affecting homologous occipito-temporal areas associated with prosopagnosia and associative visual agnosia.

Occupational citizenship
Authors: Østergaard Lise Rosendal
Published: July 2017

Health workers are an overlooked category in the growing literature on health and citizenship. In this article I describe a 2012–2013 nationwide conflict in the public health care sector in Burkina Faso to explore how ideas about citizenship were mobilized in a situation of political agitation. I examine how public health care is done in a context of material deprivation, technological shortage, and great demand from the population. Three distinct repertoires of practice, routine, and bureaucracy are identified, through which health workers strive to make meaning of their work and engage in the practice of public health care. Drawing on these findings, I argue that adopting a citizenship framework offers an opportunity to improve our understanding of the multiple ways in which health workers manage the difficulties related to being (health professionals) and doing (professional health care) in rural Burkina Faso.
Positioning Sowa Rigpa in India
Authors: Blaikie Calum
Published: July 2017

The years leading up to the recognition of Sowa Rigpa (Tibetan medicine) by the Government of India in 2010 saw unprecedented interaction between various branches of the tradition and the state apparatus. These interactions grew particularly intense during March 2008, when two conferences focusing on related issues took place. The first referred to ‘Tibetan medicine’ and was organised by Tibetan exile institutions, while the second spoke of ‘Sowa Rigpa’ and was hosted by a coalition of Himalayan Indian associations. Through detailed ethnography of these events, this article examines the way in which a medical system was discursively constructed and positioned on the brink of state enfranchisement. It shows how ‘discourse coalitions’ and antagonisms formed during these events, and enquires as to the implications of these for the balance of power in Sowa Rigpa and for its positioning in relation to the Indian state, technoscience, and the growing market for traditional medicines.

After war
Authors: Wool Zoë H.
Published: July 2017

In the United States – as in other places in the ambit of biomedicine – the efforts exerted on and by injured soldiers’ bodies in the aftermath of war are generally understood under the familiar medical rubric of ‘rehabilitation’. This reflection troubles that term by moving away from the medical logic of rehabilitation and its telos of injury and healing, and the logics that see injured soldiers as promising bodies. Instead, the think piece explores a wider range of practices of attention to injured soldiers’ bodies that emerge ethnographically, and traces embodied forms of being made within unsteady temporalities of life, health, and death after war, forms that call the temporality of rehabilitation into question and highlight care’s collateral affects. I reflect on the phenomenon of heterotopic ossification – bone growth at the site of injury that is a sign of healing that is also itself a form of injury – to think through the confounding analytical, ethical, political, and corporeal implications of such a space.
Theorizing global health
Authors: Biehl João
Published: July 2017

Reflecting on the recent West African Ebola outbreak, this piece advocates for a critical and people-centered approach both to and within global health. I discuss the current state of the field as well as critical theoretical responses to it, arguing that an ethnographic focus on evidence and efficacy at the local level raises rather than lowers the bar for thoughtful inquiry and action. The current moment calls less for the all-knowing hubris of totalizing analytical schemes than for a human science (and politics) of the uncertain and unknown. It is the immanent negotiations of people, institutions, technologies, evidence, social forms, ecosystems, health, efficacy, and ethics – in their temporary stabilization, production, excess, and creation – that animate the unfinishedness of ethnography and critical global health.
Introduction
Authors: Adams Vincanne
Published: July 2017

This collection of essays brings to light important themes in medical anthropology that have been eclipsed in recent years by theoretical turns toward problems of suffering, experience, and ontology (among others). Namely, they remind us of the importance of what was once popularly called the study of ‘ethnomedicine’.

Crafting an Amish biomedical landscape
Authors: King Martha
Published: July 2017

Within their pluralistic system of health care, the Amish make medical decisions influenced by cultural practice: a call for adherents to separate themselves from the outside world and to yield to the group. Using ethnographic research, this article discusses one aspect of the relationship between Amish communities near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and a pediatric genetics clinic that has reformed the ways it mobilizes biomedicine in order to engage this community. Despite local Amish reticence to participate in biomedical systems, three elements discussed here are among those that help shape successful relationships between Amish families and the clinic: a carefully crafted physical space, a conceptualization of genetic medicine as skilled work, and a consideration for culturally appropriate use of time. Amish spaces of practice open to incorporate the clinic as biomedical spaces labor to incorporate Amish practice. The result is an emergent therapeutic landscape developing as a response to group social practice.
Moving medicine inside the neighborhood
Authors: Cooper Amy
Published: July 2017

This article focuses on the spatial significance of health care access, analyzing how state health programs effected sociospatial transformations in poor urban neighborhoods in Caracas, Venezuela. Starting in 2003, the leftist state constructed a parallel public health system to shift biomedical care from hospital emergency rooms to small clinics in neighborhood settings, arguing that it would improve the quality and accessibility of medical care for the poor. The new national health program, Barrio Adentro (Inside the Neighborhood), explicitly reorganized public medicine according to the pragmatic and symbolic significance of place. This article, based on fifteen months of ethnographic research in central Caracas, focuses on the meanings of these new health spaces for patients. Patients viewed the placement of clinics – and doctors – in barrios and working-class neighborhoods not only as logistically necessary but also as a moral and political commitment on the part of doctors and on the part of the state that employed them. In a context of marked spatial segregation along class lines, the placement of doctors ‘inside the neighborhood’ was symbolically significant because it marked such communities as deserving of services and challenged longstanding divisions between marginalized and privileged social groups in Caracas.

“Escenografías del mal” De las estéticas del horror a las figuras de lo infame
Authors: Godoy Contreras Ivan
Published: July 2017

Será la guerra, justamente, el escenario propicio para el abuso de cadáveres con fines políticos, en el que confluyen dos elementos consustanciales al Mal. El primero apunta a la negación del Otro como ser humano y sujeto de derecho, lo cual habilita al agresor para proceder con crueldad sobre su víctima. El segundo remite a la gradual “espectacularización” del cadáver, cuyas imágenes develan el ensañamiento con el Otro. Del arte a las imágenes digitales, las escenografías del Mal se despliegan de modo polisémico. El drama, por lo tanto, acontece en la puesta en escena del sufrimiento del otro, reside no solo en el rostro de dolor y el grito de muerte del derrotado -o en el placer, coraje o valentía de su verdugo-, sino también en un más allá, en el uso y abuso del cadáver enemigo para prolongar el daño y el dolor -directa o indirectamente- en el deudo y su comunidad.

Cross-subsidizing in power industry: approaches to development of stage-by-stage decrease in volumes
Authors: TRACHUK A. V. , LINDER N. V.
Published: July 2017

The paper is devoted to economic effects of decrease in volumes of cross subsidizing for participants of the market of electric energy are considered, and also methodological approaches to modeling of a stage-by-stage decrease of volumes of cross subsidizing in economy are developed. The methodology of the system of national accounts (SNA) – symmetric tables “expenses – release” and intersectoral balance “a product – a product” calculated on release of the final product of 22 industries – was used to model the influence of economic and social effects due to cross subsidies elimination. The comparative analysis of one-stage and gradual options to cross subsidies elimination was carried out. One-stage elimination of cross subsidizing showed more the worst results on economic indicators of participants of a power market, than at its stage-by-stage decrease.

Modeling of stage-by-stage decrease in cross subsidizing is aimed at determination of the greatest possible growth rate of tariffs for the electric power for the population. The indicator of the minimum value of economic damage to branches of the economy, calculated as a difference of a balanced gain (departure) of a gross value added in the range of a threshold interval of increase in expenses of house farms on the purchased electric power in the general structure of expenses is used as criterion of an optimality of growth rate of tariffs for the electric power. The macroeconomic model of formation, use and reproduction of a branch value added is used for creation of model. The analysis of impact of change of tariffs for the electric power for the population is carried out with a step to 1% to the level providing full reduction of cross subsidizing. Optimum speed of a gain of tariffs for regions with the maximum rate of a tariff for the electric power (Moscow region) and the minimum rate (Orenburg region) is calculated.
The Evolution of a Community-Engaged Scholar
Authors: Tieken Mara C.
Published: July 2017

Mara Tieken is the recipient of the 2016 Ernest A. Lynton Award for the Scholarship of Engagement for Early Career Faculty. The award recognizes exemplary community-engaged scholarly work across faculty roles. The scholarship of engagement represents an integrated view of faculty roles in which teaching, research/creative activity, and service overlap and are mutually reinforcing, is characterized by scholarly work tied to a faculty member's academic expertise, is of benefit to the external community, is visible and shared with community stakeholders, and reflects the mission of the institution. Community engagement is defined by relationships between those in the university and those outside the university that are grounded in the qualities of reciprocity, mutual respect, shared authority, and co-creation of goals and outcomes. Such relationships are by their very nature trans-disciplinary (knowledge transcending the disciplines and the college or university) and asset-based (where the strengths, skills, and knowledges of those in the community are validated and legitimized).Dr. Tieken was selected from an outstanding pool of finalists because her work exemplifies the award’s criteria. She approached her work with rural schools by validating the knowledge assets in the communities she worked with to undertake research that addressed social and racial justice and equity in those communities. She brought her students into a pedagogy shaped by participatory epistemology in which they and the community partners they work with are knowledge producers and active participants in building a wider public culture of democracy. And through integrating her faculty roles, she contributed significant service with the partners she worked with. Further, she is an agent for change on her own campus, working to create an institutional environment that supports community engaged scholars.Dr. Tieken’s emergence as an engaged scholar describes the critical nature of deep relationships with community partners, the importance of engagement being part of the socialization and training in graduate education, the significance of mentors, and the ways that institutions of higher education cultivate scholarly innovation by attending to the kinds of commitments and structures that support, recognize, and reward community engaged scholarship. As an engaged scholar, she pursues community engagement to advance knowledge that can address global social issues as they are manifest locally, and as perhaps the best way to advance knowledge in ways that fulfill the democratic purposes of higher education.
