The Relationship Between Change Of Direction Speed In The Frontal Plane, Power, Reactive Strength, And Strength, Brian T. Mccormick, James C. Hannon, Charlie A. Hicks-Little, Maria Newton, Barry Shultz, Nicole Detling, Warren B. Young
The Relationship Between Change Of Direction Speed In The Frontal Plane, Power, Reactive Strength, And Strength, Brian T. Mccormick, James C. Hannon, Charlie A. Hicks-Little, Maria Newton, Barry Shultz, Nicole Detling, Warren B. Young
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 7(4) : 260-270, 2014. Change-of-direction speed (CODS) is an important quality to performance in multi-direction sports. The relationship between CODS in the frontal plane and power, strength, and reactive strength is largely unstudied. Twenty-three male college students participated in this study. The study used a Pearson’s product-moment correlation to measure the relationship between CODS, power, strength, and reactive strength. A lateral shuffle test was used as the measure of CODS. A lateral hop for distance was used as the measure of power in the frontal plane. A countermovement vertical jump test was used as the …
Why Power Does Not Guarantee Happiness Across Cultures, Jesus Alfonso D. Datu
Why Power Does Not Guarantee Happiness Across Cultures, Jesus Alfonso D. Datu
Online Readings in Psychology and Culture
Recent literature has shown that power enhances happiness in the Western context. However, it is likely that this may only hold true in cultures that promote independent and autonomous expression of self. For those in collectivist contexts, it is argued that power could reduce happiness since power can thwart them from achieving relationship harmony. The current paper presents research on the psychological effects of power on happiness carried out in the Western context and the Philippine context. Future directions towards developing a culturally-sensitive theory of power are also elucidated.

The Paradox Of Commercial Photography: Power And Sexuality In Models, Christina Bell
The Paradox Of Commercial Photography: Power And Sexuality In Models, Christina Bell
e-Research: A Journal of Undergraduate Work
Commercial photography has a tendency to force upon us a standard template of what the ideal person is or looks like. Unfortunately, the artificial standard is horribly unachievable and detrimental to physical and mental health, which produces sentiments of insufficiency and abjection with the self, especially among young impressionable girls. In a sick - and very modern - twist of evolutionary progress we find ourselves idealizing the depictions of models appearing to be on the verge of starvation. This article examines the power and sexuality in models produced through commercial photography and its effects on society at-large.
Vehicle Multi-Pass Rut Volume And Mobility Power Study, William W. Barbour
Vehicle Multi-Pass Rut Volume And Mobility Power Study, William W. Barbour
Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee
This paper presents the relationship between applied power by a wheeled vehicle to soil and the rutting effects. Specifically, a strong positive relationship was found between cumulative applied power and total rut volume across multiple passes by the vehicle over the same tracks. Field-testing was conducted using a high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV) and two distinct soil types. Sensors on the vehicle measured torque and angular velocity of each of the four wheels, from which applied power was calculated. A rut profile meter was used to document the shape of the rut after set numbers of passes and this profile …
Likelihood Ratio Type Test For Linear Failure Rate Distribution Vs. Exponential Distribution, R R. L. Kantam, M C. Priya, M S. Ravikumar
Likelihood Ratio Type Test For Linear Failure Rate Distribution Vs. Exponential Distribution, R R. L. Kantam, M C. Priya, M S. Ravikumar
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The Linear Failure Rate Distribution (LFRD) is considered. The graphs of its probability density function are examined for selected parameter combinations. Some of them are similar to the well-known exponential distribution. Incidentally exponential distribution is one of the two component models of the LFRD model. In view of the simpler form of exponential model as applicable in inference, looking at the frequency curves of LFRD, a test statistic is proposed based on ratio of likelihood functions containing the standard forms of the density functions of both LFRD and Exponential to discriminate between LFRD and exponential models. The critical values and …
Back To Blood: The Sociopolitics And Law Of Compulsory Dna Testing Of Refugees, Edward S. Dove
Back To Blood: The Sociopolitics And Law Of Compulsory Dna Testing Of Refugees, Edward S. Dove
University of Massachusetts Law Review
Since October 2012, certain family members of refugees seeking reunification through the United States Refugee Admissions Priority Three program must undergo DNA testing to prove they are genetically related. The putative purposes of the policy include fraud prevention, enhanced national security, and greater efficiency in refugee claims processing. Upon close inspection, however, the new policy generates significant sociopolitical and legal concerns. The notion of what constitutes a family is significantly narrowed. Required DNA testing may violate domestic laws and international human rights instruments regarding voluntary informed consent, privacy, and anti-discrimination. Traditional legal solutions insufficiently remedy these concerns and cannot prevent …
"I Entered During The Day, And Came Out During The Night": Power, Environment, And Indigenous Peoples In A Globalizing Panama, Osvaldo Jordan
"I Entered During The Day, And Came Out During The Night": Power, Environment, And Indigenous Peoples In A Globalizing Panama, Osvaldo Jordan
Tennessee Journal of Law and Policy
The story of the Ngobe widow Isabel Becker, living in the Province of Bocas del Toro in Northwestern Panama, who entered at mid-day to an unknown business tower in Panama City, and was not able to leave that building until mid-night, may easily be interpreted as yet another of countless cases of local indigenous women being abused by the mighty power of corrupt governments and multinational corporations. For the casual observer, the same plot could be laid out in almost any country in the humid tropics: Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Brazil or Guatemala. Yet, under the surface of what Paul Farmer …

Incorporating The Realities Of Gender And Power Into U.S. Asylum Law Jurisprudence, Amy M. Lighter Steill
Incorporating The Realities Of Gender And Power Into U.S. Asylum Law Jurisprudence, Amy M. Lighter Steill
Tennessee Journal of Law and Policy
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (hereinafter "UNHCR") estimates that 80 percent of the approximately 40 million refugees and internally displaced persons are women and children. In 2002, the United States received approximately 81,100 new applications for asylum. If these were to follow the demographics of refugees as a whole, nearly 65,000 of those applications would involve women and children. In light of such striking numbers, the UNHCR has asserted that "ensuring equal treatment of refugee women and men may require specific action in favour of the former."
Collective Begging At Its Best: Labor-Management Relations In South Dakota, Gary Aguiar
Collective Begging At Its Best: Labor-Management Relations In South Dakota, Gary Aguiar
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
Public employee labor unions in South Dakota possess a feeble set of bargaining rights, so weak it should be considered “collective begging.” However, our recent contract contains significant victories despite decades of playing defense. What lessons can be learned from this experience that might help other similarly situated faculty unions? What does this case study teach us about the disparity of power, especially where labor has fewer legal and political tools than management? I apply DiGiovanni’s (2011) typology of “intangible influences” on collective bargaining to explain our success. As DiGiovanni predicts, history and timing played a large role in influencing …

Power Games, Aneil Kovvali
Michigan Law Review First Impressions
According to the traditional account, Congress has the "necessary constitutional means and personal motives to resist encroachments" by the president. As commentators have recognized, however, the traditional account does not match reality. Individuals in Washington, D.C., are more interested in fighting for their political party than for their branch of government, and the essentially reactive legislative branch lacks the capacity to respond to a rapidly changing policy environment. But the traditional account suffers from a more basic flaw. The president can decide whether or not to cooperate with Congress on a situation-by-situation basis. By contrast, Congress's tools for disciplining the …
Feuds Of A Thousand Years: Explaining Europe Via The World System, Hans Hubbard
Feuds Of A Thousand Years: Explaining Europe Via The World System, Hans Hubbard
Claremont-UC Undergraduate Research Conference on the European Union
This paper argues for a more comprehensive study of the European Union that includes consideration, not only of socio-economic and political processes, but also of changing conceptualisations of identity, governance and democratic legitimacy. It argues for a re-examination of traditional narratives that frame the European Union as a response to the cruelties of the Second World War. Several key paradoxes in European history cannot be satisfactorily accounted for through purely intra-European processes: the European idea’s pre-dating the Second World War; the lack of a strong impulse for unified defence; the UK’s late membership and euroscepticism; the desire for a closed-off …
Feminist Interruptions: Creating Care-Ful And Collaborative Community-Based Research With Students, Kelly Concannon, Laura Finley, Nadine Grifoni, Stephanie Wong
Feminist Interruptions: Creating Care-Ful And Collaborative Community-Based Research With Students, Kelly Concannon, Laura Finley, Nadine Grifoni, Stephanie Wong
Journal of Feminist Scholarship
This article describes a feminist community-based research project involving faculty and student collaboration to evaluate a dating and domestic violence awareness initiative. Using a critical ethics of care that emphasizes relationships and allows for constant reflection about power dynamics, role, positionality, and emotions, the authors reflect on what was learned during the research process. Faculty and student researchers share their perspectives and offer suggestions for future feminist collaborative research projects. Significant lessons learned include ensuring that all are invested from the outset of the project, guaranteeing that student researchers understand why their role is so critical in community-based research, and …

Keeping The Mexican Moment Alive: A Case For Public Diplomacy, Fernando De La Mora
Keeping The Mexican Moment Alive: A Case For Public Diplomacy, Fernando De La Mora
Exchange: The Journal of Public Diplomacy
Despite a sound political and economic outlook, Mexico’s international image has been on a roller coaster ride. After years of downward spiral, the Mexican moment has again raised expectations. However, structural and systemic factors hamper Mexican public diplomacy at a time when keeping that positive momentum is critical for the country’s national interests. The systemic challenge for all emerging nations derives from widespread confusion and uncertainty regarding future power shifts and dynamics. Whether the world is to be multilpolar, nonpolar, or interpolar, public diplomacy will play an important role in accomplishing foreign policy objectives. Unlike other emerging countries, Mexico has …
