University consortium to address public health priorities and research capacity building in the Caribbean
The State University of New York (SUNY) – University of the West Indies (UWI) Health Research Consortium (HRC) was implemented in 2015 by the SUNY Global Health Institute (GHI) and the SUNY-UWI Center for Leadership and Sustainable Development. The goal was to advance public health in the Caribbean through collaborative research and education among faculty and students at SUNY and UWI. The Consortium is now a dynamic matrix addressing health prio…

Interpreting the Old English Nominal Group from a Parsed Corpus
The object of this study is to derive a systemic functional interpretation of the experiential structure of the Old English nominal group from a parsed database. The database is the York-Toronto-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English Prose (YCOE), a parsed structuralist corpus. The methodology uses the CorpusSearch search engine to isolate nominal group tree-structures in two separate inventories. The first search results in an inventory of the no…
Nominalisation and genre in early discourses on electricity: Franklin, Priestley and the Philosophical transactions
Halliday proposes that a key role in the language of science is played by compacting nominalisation, a strategy by which qualities and processes in one phase of a discourse are then nominalised in a following phase to facilitate the flow of argument. Compacting nominalisation is very characteristic of Priestley’s 1767 The history and present state of electricity . However, another book of the same era and field, Franklin’s 1751 –1754 New experime…
Social Impact Measurement: Current Approaches and Future Directions for Social Entrepreneurship Research
Despite the importance of social impact to social entrepreneurship research, standards for measuring an organization’s social impact are underdeveloped on both theoretical and empirical grounds. We identify a sample of 71 relevant papers from leading (FT50) business journals that examine, conceptually or empirically, the measurement of social impact. We first describe the breadth of definitions, data sources, and operationalizations of social imp…

Explaining the rise of diaspora institutions
Origin-state institutions dedicated to emigrants and their descendants have been largely unnoticed by mainstream political studies even though diaspora institutions are now found in over half the countries of the world. In response, we first develop alternative theories explaining diaspora institution emergence. They emerge to: ‘tap’ diasporas for resources vital to origin-state development and security; ‘embrace’ diasporas to help define origin-…
Sustainability Standards and Stakeholder Engagement: Lessons From Carbon Markets
Stakeholders play an increasingly active role in private governance, including development of standards for measuring sustainability. Building on prior studies focused on standards and stakeholder engagement, we use an innovation management theoretical lens to compare stakeholder engagement and standards developed in two carbon markets: the Climate Action Reserve and the U.N.’s Clean Development Mechanism. We develop and test hypotheses regarding…

Language typology: A functional perspective
Remembering Ron Davis
Ronald Davis, MD, aged 52, passed away on 6 November 2008 after a courageous 10-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Ron’s star shone very brightly, albeit too briefly in the medical community. He graduated medical school from the University of Chicago, where he also received a Master of Arts in Public Policy Studies. He trained at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) both as a field epidemiologist and as a preventive medicine …
