Changes In Network Characteristics And Hiv Risk Behavior Among Injection Drug Users, John P. Hoffmann, S. Susan Su, Alfred Pach
Changes In Network Characteristics And Hiv Risk Behavior Among Injection Drug Users, John P. Hoffmann, S. Susan Su, Alfred Pach
Faculty Publications
Studies indicate that HIV risk behaviors vary greatly among injection drug users (IDUs). The source of such variation is often ascribed to individual differences, but much of it is due to how IDUs are grouped into social networks. Nevertheless, given the turbulent and uncertain lives led by many IDUs, it would not be surprising if their social networks changed substantially over time. We used data from a study of the social networks of IDUs in Chicago and Washington, DC, to examine changes in individual behavior and network characteristics over time. The results indicated few changes in standard network measures, such …

Why did more than 50 million people leave Europe for the United States in the second part of the 19th century? To understand the largest migration in history you have to look to the hopelessly poor living conditions which many people in the Old World lived under. To people living in an overpopulated and underpaid. Europe the idea of going to America where nothing was impossible but where "everything" was possible was immensely attractive.

I never tire of hearing stories about Danish immigrants coming to America in the 1800' s. Their courage fills me with admiration because few of them would ever see their homeland or families again. My own great-grandparents Jens and Kristine Bagge arrived in June of 1863. Kristine died a few years later leaving five small children behind. We know she was lonely for Denmark.

"Left to go to America," teacher Johannes Frederik
Christensen wrote opposite Sophie Pauline Christine
Pedersen in the June, 1884 Kindertofte village school's attendance
and examination class register. For Sophie, daughter of
laborer P. Christian Pedersen, as for the other 1,261 emigrants
under sixteen that left Denmark in 1884 with their families,1
her first meeting with education would greatly contribute to
any success in the new country. The Danish school system
and the village teacher would cast long shadows.

Father, Otto Christensen, was born in 1875 on a farm
that lay on the edge of the North Sea in Jutland, Denmark.
When he was four his mother died and his father remarried.
He spent his childhood tending sheep and cattle and playing
in the sand dunes and heather along the sea. He must have
spent much time dreaming his dreams.

A Mormon Cultural Study Of Musical Preference, Alden L. Weight
Theses and Dissertations
Music is an important yet relatively unnoticed part of the everyday world almost all of us take for granted. Whether in the car, watching television, shopping, at work or at home, even waking up in the morning or going to sleep at night, and so forth, music surrounds us, soothes us, disturbs us, and occasionally goes so far as to persuade us. Although music plays a significant role in many areas of life, its relationship to society is especially evident in the religious sphere. Therefore, the religious sphere is an ideal place to examine what music does and what it …
A Study Of Haitian Mormon Converts Dwelling In New York City: A Cross-Cultural Perspective In Understanding, Interpreting, And Experiencing The Mormon Subculture, Yvon Milien
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the roles played by understanding, interpretation of practices, and experience in Mormon culture when Haitians convert to Mormonism. In relationship to their previous cultural practices, this thesis explores whether Haitian converts develop one of three types of behaviors: discard old practices, retain elements of old practices, or seek to establish a balance between former and new religious practices. In-depth interviews with twelve subjects living in New York City suggest that most active converts discarded their old cultural traditions. This study suggests that only interpretation influences developing types of behavior. However, it was not expected that most converts …

We used data from the screening phase and first two waves of a panel study to compare the home environments of families with a substance-abusing parent, families with a depressed parent, and families in a comparison group. We diagnosed substance use disorder and affective disorder by administering the Structural Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (third edition, revised) to each participating parent. The data suggest that families in which parents display a substance use disorder are very similar to those in which parents suffer from affective disorder, in terms of negative life events and lower …
