An Investigation Of The "Cume Assessment," An Instrument Designed To Measure Third Grade Children's Understanding Of Selected Cross-Cultural/Multicultural Concepts, Doni Kwolek Kobus

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate an instrument, the Cross-cultural Understandings in Multicultural Education (CUME) Assessment, which was devised to measure third grade students' understandings of selected crosscultural/ multicultural concepts. These concepts were derived from a cultural anthropological perspective of human similarities and differences.

Procedures. The study examined the reliability and validity of the CUME Assessment, a multiple-choice, domain referenced test consisting of twenty-one items based on seven instructional objectives. Third grade students, whose teachers indicated on a Teacher Questionnaire having taught these objectives as a part of the formal curriculum, were assessed. Three instruments were administered …

Economic Dualism In American Agriculture, Gary P. Green, William D. Heffernan

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Renewed interest in agriculture by sociologists has led to an emphasis on structural analyses of rural America. Drawing upon the dual economy model, this paper proposes an alternative concept of the changing structure of agriculture in the United States. Two industrial sectors--the core and the periphery--are defined, and their relevance to agriculture is explored. Following Averitt, agriculture is an industry which historically has had a periphery-type orientation but is now undergoing encroachment from the core economy and partially from domination by the federal government. The research implications of the dual economy model for rural sociology are discussed.

Incidence, Magnitude, And Determinants Of Off-Farm Income In Tennessee And The South, Surendra P. Singh

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The major objectives of this study are to identify the incidence and magnitude of of f-farm income in Tennessee and the South and to determine factors affecting off-farm income of a select group of farm families. Regression models were estimated using cross-sectional data collected from 193 randomly selected farm families in two Tennessee counties. Two models were estimated: the first, for the farm operator's off-farm income; and the second, for the total off-farm income of the family. The study revealed various socioeconomic factors affecting total off-farm family income and operator's off-farm income. Elasticities were also determined for each of the …

Factors Contributing To Reported Home Energy Conservation Behavior, Lionel J. Beaulieu, Michael K. Miller

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This study extends and refines previous works by considering the relative influence that key attributes have on two types of conservation initiatives: repetitive activities requiring minimal time or cost and nonrepetitive conservation practices that entail sizable financial outlays. Data collected in a 1979 statewide survey in Florida demonstrate that while several socio-demographic variables are significant predictors of reported conservation behavior, personal perception and definition of economic circumstance is the single most important predictor.

Farm Operation Characteristics, Institutional Support, And The Use Of Soil And Water Conservation Technologies, Peter F. Korsching

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Technologies to control the severity of soil erosion and water pollution are available, and a large institutional structure supports soil conservation work, but success has been rather limited. This study of a sample of farmers in the three watersheds in central Iowa tests a number of hypotheses about the use of conservation technology. Institutional support factors were found to have a stronger relationship to the use of conservation practices than farm operation characteristics. The erosion potential of the land was conditional for specific conservation practice utilization. The use of institutional resources was positively related to farm size and scale. Thus …

Teenage Vandalism In Georgia, Douglas C. Bachtel

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Data gathered from a selected nonmetropolitan and a metropolitan county in Georgia suggest that most junior and senior high school students had engaged in at least one act of vandalism in the previous 12 months. Vandalism most often occurred among groups of four or more people, on weekends, and outside one's own neighborhood. Reduction of teenage vandalism involves consideration of peer group influence, leisure activities, and deterrence measures.

Bull Market For Predictions, Keith C. Epstein

1976–1985: William B. Spong, Jr.

Brokers scan stock projections. Corporations live for the next quarter. Families plan budgets so they can afford a summer vacation.

Multinationals seek modern soothsayers to help decide whether to sell smaller roasting pans. Hi-tech firms hire specialists to predict whether tomorrow's workers will demand in-office day care.

For many so much as a glimpse of what the future holds, government at all levels spends millions.

Call it a human condition, this hankering after the future.

"You've really got a great gimmick," an envious Virginia Commonwealth University colleague once quipped to futurologist Howard Ozmon. "Everything has a future, so I guess …

Substances, Accidents, And Kinds: Some Remarks On Aristotle's Theory Of Predication, Frank A. Lewis

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

A major feature of Aristotle's strategy against Plato in the Categories is to collapse the dichotomy that Plato's theory of (metaphysical) predication attempts to make between forms and sensibles. In Aristotle's theory, Socrates IS some of his predicables, but HAS others. He IS what is essential to him, and HAS the rest. These different relations between Socrates and his various predicables form a large part of the motivation for the further ontological distinctions that Aristotle draws in the Categories.

Parmenides On Naming By Mortal Men: Fr. B8.53ff. Vs, Leonard Woodbury

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

"They made up their minds to name two forms / Of which it is not right to name one, that is where they have erred." In the flickering of light and darkness that men recognise in what is the effect of their own actions there is discovered a kind of being, but one divided and turned against itself in contradiction.

Note On Singer's The Legal Rights Debate In Analytical Jurisprudence From Betham To Hohfeld - 1984, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

The economic realm is the area in which these sorts of privileges are most obviously to be found; it is in the economic realm that the evidence of "damnum absque injuria" began to accumulate, leading Homes, Salmond and others to recognize that the legal system did sometimes allow persons to inflict harm on others.
