Economic and Business Review
The article deals with the importance and necessity of research on electronic storage of documents. No empirical research has been conducted in Slovenia on the relationship between regulatory complexity and its impact on decision-making when implementing electronic document storage in compliance with the law. The aim of the research is therefore to shed light on the issue of legally compliant electronic storage in the context of Slovenian regulations in comparison with other European countries and, based on the research findings, to propose recommendations for their development and the creation of a systematic approach and scientific knowledge on document storage. The …

A Comparative Analysis Of Cultural Competence In Beginning And Graduating Nursing Students, Deborah Davenport, Helen Reyes, Lance Hadley
A Comparative Analysis Of Cultural Competence In Beginning And Graduating Nursing Students, Deborah Davenport, Helen Reyes, Lance Hadley
Administrative Issues Journal
The ethnic proportions of the population in the United States are rapidly changing, with the nation’s minority population at approximately 101 million. This is also true for the West Texas region, where locally in a city with 183,000 residents, 43 different languages are spoken suggesting that cultural education needs to be included in nursing program curricula. Therefore, a study was conducted during a period of curriculum revision to determine if the current nursing curriculum at West Texas A&M University offers enough education and experience for graduating nurses to care for such a diverse population by comparing their perceptions of cultural …
Childhood Loss And Ad/Hd: Program Implications For Education Administrators, Helen Wilson Harris, Marlene Zipperlen
Childhood Loss And Ad/Hd: Program Implications For Education Administrators, Helen Wilson Harris, Marlene Zipperlen
Administrative Issues Journal
Evidence-based practice and evidence-informed practice are not just buzzwords in education. It is essential that administrators encourage both the development and the application of new knowledge in the field. This study of 1755 elementary age children in Central Texas indicates a positive association between the experience of childhood loss and grief and a diagnosis of AD/HD. Implications of this information for administrators in education are explored, including the training of counselors and classroom teachers in grief interventions and accommodations for grief related attention problems in children.
Publications Highlight Science Communication Research For Busy Professionals, Joseph Crone
Publications Highlight Science Communication Research For Busy Professionals, Joseph Crone
The Journal of Extension
Professionals, such as Extension personnel, who communicate with a range of non-specialists about scientific or technical information face particular challenges. A common goal of all such professionals is to effect at least some change in their audiences' understanding and perhaps in their actions. A key challenge for many of these professionals is a lack of familiarity with research relating to communicating and making decisions about scientific and technical topics. Public Science Communication Research and Practice, a series of publications from Oregon State University, is designed to identify, distill, and highlight useful social science research to help professionals communicate more effectively.
Researching The “Un-Digital” Amish Community: Methodological And Ethical Reconsiderations For Human Subjects Research, Tabetha Adkins
Researching The “Un-Digital” Amish Community: Methodological And Ethical Reconsiderations For Human Subjects Research, Tabetha Adkins
Community Literacy Journal
This article argues that methodologies for studying community literacy must be reexamined in light of advancements in technology and the research community’s relationship to those technologies. Based on her ethnographic study of an Amish community in southeast Ohio, the author offers a counterpoint to discussions of literacy and digital tools by showing how differing perspectives on technology led to complications during the data collection process. Furthermore, Adkins argues that methodologies cannot always be dictated by a template or by “best practice” and that researchers and IRBs should be more flexible in their thinking about how to treat research communities ethically.

A Practical Method Of Policy Analysis By Considering Productivity-Related Research, James L. Phelps
A Practical Method Of Policy Analysis By Considering Productivity-Related Research, James L. Phelps
Educational Considerations
The basic notion underlying schooling is rather simple: Hire teachers to instruct students. From there, the tasks become more complicated. How many teachers should be employed? What assignments should the teachers be given, in the classroom or in a supporting role? What assistance should teachers receive from aides or volunteers?

A Journey, Not A Destination, James L. Phelps
Educational Considerations
Closing Essay: Much of the motivation and ideas for the articles in this special issue originated with my dear friend, Maris Abolins, Professor Emeritus of Physics at Michigan State University. We started as neighbors and, as our kids grew up together, we socialized frequently. He is responsible for my interest in physics. I would read a physics book, which would become the subject of our next dinner conversation (while our wives talked about other, more social topics). Instead of a compilation of facts, physics became a way of thinking about problem solving. The “unified field” theory was the start of …
Another Look At The Glass And Smith Study On Class Size, James L. Phelps
Another Look At The Glass And Smith Study On Class Size, James L. Phelps
Educational Considerations
One of the most influential studies affecting educational policy is Glass and Smith’s 1978 study, Meta-Analysis of Research on the Relationship of Class Size and Achievement. Since its publication, educational policymakers have referenced it frequently as the justification for reducing class size.
A Practical Method Of Policy Analysis By Estimating Effect Size, James L. Phelps
A Practical Method Of Policy Analysis By Estimating Effect Size, James L. Phelps
Educational Considerations
The previous articles on class size and other productivity research paint a complex and confusing picture of the relationship between policy variables and student achievement. Missing is a conceptual scheme capable of combining the seemingly unrelated research and dissimilar estimates of effect size into a unified structure for policy analysis and decision making. This article builds a rationale for a unifying structure and consistent method of estimating effect size.
Apologies In The Healthcare System: From Clinical Medicine To Public Health, Michal Alberstein, Nadav Davidovitch
Apologies In The Healthcare System: From Clinical Medicine To Public Health, Michal Alberstein, Nadav Davidovitch
Law and Contemporary Problems
Alberstein and Davidovitch explore the role of apologies in healthcare systems from a broader perspective. The significance of apology in terms of social solidarity is addressed and the ways in which each apology situation entails a clash between cultural identities are demonstrated. The debate on apology is explored by presenting a public health perspective of apologies following collective traumatic events such as the application of sterilization laws or flawed human experimentations in various settings.
Medical Malpractice Mediation: Benefits Gained, Opportunities Lost , Carol B. Liebman
Medical Malpractice Mediation: Benefits Gained, Opportunities Lost , Carol B. Liebman
Law and Contemporary Problems
Liebman reviews two recent studies evaluating the use of interest-based mediation to resolve medical malpractice claims. The first studied cases brought against the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, and the second, Mediating Suits against Hospitals, studied cases brought against private New York City hospitals. How non-participation of physicians in mediations diminishes opportunities to achieve noneconomic goals that plaintiffs desire is analyzed.

Experimenting With Alternative Dispute Resolution As A Means For Peaceful Resolution Of Interest Labor Disputes In Public Healthcare—A Case Study , Mordehai (Moti) Mironi
Law and Contemporary Problems
Mironi examines the dispute between the Israel Medical Association and the Israeli government. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with the arbitrators and the parties' representatives and counsels, as well as upon the extensive litigation and transcripts of the arbitration proceedings and award, the process-oriented aspects of the arbitration are emphasized. The disputes between the IMA and the government have never been only about money, but also have been about voice, the future status of public healthcare, and the doctors' professional quality of life.
Escaping The Shadow Of Malpractice Law, Orna Rabinovich-Einy
Escaping The Shadow Of Malpractice Law, Orna Rabinovich-Einy
Law and Contemporary Problems
Abinovich-Einy addresses several constituencies operating at the meeting point of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), communication theory, healthcare policy, and medical-malpractice doctrine. From an ADR perspective, the need for, and barriers to, addressing non-litigable disputes, for which the "alternative" route is the only one, is explored. It is shown that ADR mechanisms may not take root when introduced into an environment that is resistant to collaborative and open discourse without additional incentives and measures being adopted.
Most Claims Settle: Implications For Alternative Dispute Resolution From A Profile Of Medical-Malpractice Claims In Florida , Mirya Holman, Neil Vidmar, Paul Lee
Most Claims Settle: Implications For Alternative Dispute Resolution From A Profile Of Medical-Malpractice Claims In Florida , Mirya Holman, Neil Vidmar, Paul Lee
Law and Contemporary Problems
Holman et al draw attention to the frequent and complicated evidentiary problems in medical malpractice claims and the procedural mechanisms provided by statutes, court rules, and case law that are already in place to facilitate claim resolution. While proposed alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures might well provide better resolutions to medical malpractice claims, they must take into consideration both the unique characteristics of medical malpractice disputes and existing mechanisms for resolving these disputes. The profile of the settlements of Florida medical-malpractice claims provides a structure with which any proposals for ADR must contend.
Rationalizing Noneconomic Damages: A Health-Utilities Approach, David M. Studdert, Allen Kachalia, Joshua A. Salomon, Michelle M. Mello
Rationalizing Noneconomic Damages: A Health-Utilities Approach, David M. Studdert, Allen Kachalia, Joshua A. Salomon, Michelle M. Mello
Law and Contemporary Problems
Studdert et al examine why making compensation of noneconomic damages in personal-injury litigation more rational and predictable is socially valuable. Noneconomic-damages schedules as an alternative to caps are discussed, several potential approaches to construction of schedules are reviewed, and the use of a health-utilities approach as the most promising model is argued. An empirical analysis that combines health-utilities data created in a previous study with original empirical work is used to demonstrate how key steps in construction of a health-utilities-based schedule for noneconomic damages might proceed.
Qualitative Study Of Current And Prospective Student Perceptions Of A University Website, Sheila J. Henderson, Jennifer Coloma
Qualitative Study Of Current And Prospective Student Perceptions Of A University Website, Sheila J. Henderson, Jennifer Coloma
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
Building a sustainable system that goes beyond myopic interests and short-term policies is an arduous task for any school leader. In the U.S., our education system has been criticized for being too shallow in curriculum and unsustainable in the long run. In fact, a 2007 report by UNICEF concerning children’s well-being in 22 countries ranked the U.K. and the U.S. at the bottom of the industrialized nations in the survey. Hargreaves (2007) laments that these two countries, in their single-minded pursuit of economic competitiveness and development at all costs, are destroying the planet, while “eating their young.”

Teachers’ Perceptions Of Students Who Are Learning Disabled And Gifted, Patricia Aldridge
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
This study was viewed as being significant for teachers who are interested in teaching the LD/gifted. Children who are both gifted and learning disabled are likely to benefit from the knowledge and skill of educators who are committed to developing both the cr4eativity and academic areas of students who are gifted and learning disabled face obstacles in the typical classroom setting. Parents of these students also might benefit from this study. Parents and students should be more aware of the availability of services their schools provide in assisting them in becoming successful. Federal laws such as PL. 94-142 mandate that …

Review Of The Politics Of Inquiry: Education Research And The “Culture Of Science", David Hursh
Review Of The Politics Of Inquiry: Education Research And The “Culture Of Science", David Hursh
Education and Culture
Baez and Boyles critique the view that science can and should be objective and neutral and the impact such a view has had on the nature of educational research, teacher professionalism, teacher education, and the university. In particular, they link the rise of neoliberalism and entrepreneurialism with the decline of thoughtful, reflective, and ethical research and teaching.

Law For The Common Man: An Individual-Level Theory Of Values, Expanded Rationality, And The Law , Amir N. Licht
Law For The Common Man: An Individual-Level Theory Of Values, Expanded Rationality, And The Law , Amir N. Licht
Law and Contemporary Problems
This article makes an admittedly bold attempt at outlining an analytical framework for addressing this question. Instead of looking at the legal implications of bounded rationality -- an exercise highly worthy in its own right -- this article advances a theory of expanded rationality. This theory retains the element of rationality in that people respond to incentives in an attempt to attain utility, and it does not question the observation that decision-making is often bounded due to various factors.

Behind The Veil Of Legal Uncertainty , Yuval Feldman, Shahar Lifshitz
Law and Contemporary Problems
This article challenges the conventional view and proclaims the advantages of legal uncertainty. This article recognized some of the drawbacks may arise due to uncertainty and hence illustrated several refinements and limitations regarding the use of a "veil of uncertainty" mechanism in order to improve its potential benefits for lawmakers.
