Predictors Of Fear And Risk Of Terrorism In A Rural State, David May, Joe Herbert, Kelly Cline, Ashley Nellis Nov 2011

Predictors Of Fear And Risk Of Terrorism In A Rural State, David May, Joe Herbert, Kelly Cline, Ashley Nellis

David May

This article examines attitudes about terrorism utilizing criminological literature about fear of crime and perceived risk of victimization and data from a statewide survey of 1,617 adults in Kentucky. Measures of both fear of terrorism and perceived risk of terrorism were geography based. The demographic variables had minimal impact on both perceived risk of terrorism and fear of terrorism, although gender was significantly related to both, suggesting a link based on socialization experiences of men and women. Although rural residence had a small but statistically significant relationship to perceived risk, it was not related to fear. The strongest predictor of …


Task Framing And Perceived Fit: The Role Of Personality, Task Label, And Partner Involvement, Jonathan Gore, Susan Cross Nov 2011

Task Framing And Perceived Fit: The Role Of Personality, Task Label, And Partner Involvement, Jonathan Gore, Susan Cross

Jonathan Gore

Two experiments tested the hypothesis that individual differences in social connectedness moderate the association between task frame and perceptions of the task. In experiment 1, 75 participants completed an assessment of relational self-construal prior to engaging in an interview with a partner. Participants then received an explanation that the interview enhanced either relationship skills or occupational skills. Results indicated that high relationals perceived their partner more favorably when the task was framed as relational then when it was framed as occupational. In experiment 2, 185 participants completed self-construal and agreeableness assessments before completing an interview task with or without a …


Blood, Lust And Love:Interrogating Gender Violence In The Twilight Phenomenon, Meenakshi Durham Nov 2011

Blood, Lust And Love:Interrogating Gender Violence In The Twilight Phenomenon, Meenakshi Durham

Meenakshi Gigi Durham

This paper interrogates the construction of gender relations in the Twilight books and films, vis-à-vis issues of implicit and overt gender violence. A combination of ideological analysis, semiology, and feminist critique is used to examine the verbal and visual codes at work in these texts. Five dominant themes emerge: (1) the representation of violence as an inherent characteristic of masculinity; (2) the portrayal of male violence as a justifiable by-product of heterosexual relationships; (3) the definition of masculinity in terms of a dualism wherein “good” boys repudiate their own “instinctive” predilection for violence and “bad” boys allow it to go …


China's Western Development Strategy: Policies, Effects And Prospects, Zheng Lu, Xiang Deng Nov 2011

China's Western Development Strategy: Policies, Effects And Prospects, Zheng Lu, Xiang Deng

Zheng Lu (Chinese: 路征)

China’s Western Development Strategy (WDS) has been carried out since 1999 with remarkable achievements, whereby Western China also experienced a rapid and stable development during the past decade. This paper analyzes policy actions and effects of WDS. The findings indicate that Western China’s economic development has experienced a dramatic reversion after implementation of WDS, which to a certain extent, proves that WDS has played a significant role in promoting western regions’ development. This paper also reveals some key constraints on Western China’s economic development and then offers a set of policy ideas for the next stage of Western development.

Economic Integration, Political Integration Or Both?, Daniel Brou, Michele Ruta Nov 2011

Economic Integration, Political Integration Or Both?, Daniel Brou, Michele Ruta

Daniel Brou

We study the effects of economic and political integration by presenting a model in which firms compete with each other in both an economic market—where they produce a good and compete for market share—and in a political (rent seeking) market—where they compete for transfers from the government. Growth is driven by firms’ cost-reducing innovation activity and economic and political integration affect firms’ incentive to innovate differently. In this setting, economic and political integration can be seen as complementary. Economic integration, when not accompanied by political integration, can lead to less innovation and slower growth as firms respond to increased competition …

Inroads For Cultural Traffic: Breeding Korea’S Cinematiger, Brian Yecies Nov 2011

Inroads For Cultural Traffic: Breeding Korea’S Cinematiger, Brian Yecies

Brian Yecies

The Golden Age of Hallyuwood – the fusion of Hallyu and Hollywood – facilitated and was facilitated by new spaces for creative and cultural expression. Domestic market share of local films, lucrative pre-sales, a robust screen quota and fresh genre-bending narratives and styles reached a peak of acclaim at home and abroad in 2005. This period of success was notably inspired internally after the establishment of a civilian government in 1993 and the subsequent elimination of censorship in 1996. However, external pressures involved in the (re)opening of Korea to Hollywood in the mid-1980s also had an impact on the rise …


The Chinese Development Model: International Development And Hegemony, Jonathan Ping Nov 2011

The Chinese Development Model: International Development And Hegemony, Jonathan Ping

Jonathan H. Ping

Extract:What is the appropriate role for the People’s Republic of China (PRC or China) to play in the contemporary international political economy (IPE)? This chapter employs the discipline of IPE to explain the contemporary state market relationship from a historical perspective, and develops the thesis that China as a great power should take a more active responsibility in order to play a considerably larger role in the IPE. We cannot ignore the fact that today’s IPE, because of liberal interdependence and the functions of the mercantilist security dilemma, links regional issues to global issues; given this set of circumstances, China …

[Review Of The Book Forecasting Retirement Needs And Retirement Wealth], Gary Fields

Gary S Fields

[Excerpt] This volume enables researchers to learn about some of the latest research findings on specific issues. It is not the place to seek an introduction to current thinking on retirement, pensions, and Social Security—the papers are too narrowly focused for that. But for current or would-he pension specialists, this volume and the larger series of which it is a part are indispensable resources.

My Collection Isn't Boring! : An Unexpected Role As Advocate For A Collection., Elizabeth Psyck Nov 2011

My Collection Isn't Boring! : An Unexpected Role As Advocate For A Collection., Elizabeth Psyck

Elizabeth Psyck

Many librarians and library users have a limited view of what U.S. and international government documents are – large, dry reports, topographic maps, legal codes, or statistics. As the government documents librarian at Grand Valley State University, a large masters level public university, it is my responsibility to break that stereotype and show the depth and breadth of information available from government sources – and prove that some of it is downright FUN. I will discuss strategies that have worked, as well as attempts that were less successful. This session would be of interest to librarians, library school students, and …


Italian Sixteenth-Century Writing Books And The Scribal Reality Of Verona, Richard Clement Nov 2011

Italian Sixteenth-Century Writing Books And The Scribal Reality Of Verona, Richard Clement

Richard W. Clement

The sixteenth-century copybooks of the Italian writing masters have long been considered to be reflections of the contemporary scribal condition. The impression one gains from reading the works of Arrighi, Taglienti, Palatino, and Cresci, among others, is that cancellaresca was the dominant notarial script of the first half of the century, that cancellaresca formata, developed by Palatino at mid-century, supplanted it, and that Cresci's cancellaresca corsiva reigned supreme at the end. In fact, if we consider the manuscript evidence, specifically the Rosenthal Collection of North Italian Documents at the University of Chicago, we find a very different reality. In sixteenth-century …


An Analysis On Non-Finite Verb Forms As An Indication Of The Style Of Translation In Bede's Ecclesiastical History, Richard Clement Nov 2011

An Analysis On Non-Finite Verb Forms As An Indication Of The Style Of Translation In Bede's Ecclesiastical History, Richard Clement

Richard W. Clement

Non-finite verb forms are ideal as indicators of a translator's ability and style of translating Latin into OE. (1) This is because in Latin there are six different infinitives: the present active infinitive, the present passive infinitive, the perfect active infinitive, the perfect passive infinitive, the future active infinitive, and the future passive infinitive. However, in OE there is only one infinitive: the present active infinitive. In Latin there are four different participles: the present active imperfect participle, the present passive perfective participle, the future active imperfective participle, and the future passive imperfective participle (gerundive). The gerund is the neuter …

The Production Of The Pastoral Care: King Alfred And His Helpers, Richard Clement Nov 2011

The Production Of The Pastoral Care: King Alfred And His Helpers, Richard Clement

Richard W. Clement

Old English prose before the late tenth century is examined in this collection of hitherto unpublished essays. Using a variety of techniques, the authors explore well-known and lesser-known texts in search of a better understanding of why, how, and by whom the manuscripts were produced. Part I of the collection contains six studies of Alfredian prose--the Soliloquies, the Pastoral Care, and Consolation of Philosophy--all of which are translations traditionally associated with King Alfred. Part II contains nine essays on various prose works outside of the Alfredian milieu, including the Old English Dialogues, the Old English Bede, the Chronicle and Laws, …
