Socio-Political Factors Affecting The Growth Of The Mormon Church In Argentina Since 1925, Michael B. Smurthwaite

Theses and Dissertations

Since 1925 Mormon missionaries have proselyted in Catholic Argentina. Yet the Argentine mission has grown very slowly and encountered many difficulties. Did the missionaries' North American image affect the missionary work? Did the predominance of the Catholic Church stunt the growth of the new sect? How did the impact of bitter U.S.-Argentine international relations during the Second World War, and the advent of Peron affect the reception of Mormonism in Argentina?

These questions concerning the history of the Mormon Church in Argentina since 1940 can best be understood by considering the episodes of Argentine history which bear directly on the …

A Study Of Input-Output Adjustments, Charles W. Briggs

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The effects of using the United States input-output table to explain Israel's economic structure was studied, by comparing price data generated on the basis of the U. S. tables and prices observed in the two countries. A substantial difference between prices generated and observed led to the conclusion that the technological structure of the United States cannot be used to approximate Israel's structure.

Various adjustments were then applied to the United States coefficient matrix to determine if it could be transformed into a new technological structure which would more closely approximate Israel's economy.

Significant improvements were noted by three of …

Background And Review Of National Labor Relations Board And Court Decisions In The Area Of Managements Prerogatives - The Darlington And General Electric Cases, Charles W. Bullen Jr.

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The effects of the Darlington case on managements prerogatives was that it spelled out what a multi-plant employer must do in the area of plant closure to avoid violating the National Labor Relations Act of 1935. There was also good evidence brought forth to show that management is now bargaining plant closures with union. Thus the conclusion was made that in the area multi-plant employers had lost some power due to the Darlington Case.

The General Case is presently in the Courts and until a final court decision is made it is hard to say what effect it will have …

The Feasibility Of The Location Of A Steel Fabrication Plant In The State Of Utah, A. Brent Pulsipher

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The feasibility of locating the major household appliance industry in Utah was studied by comparing a Utah location with present production sites for this commodity.

Major elements of cost were projected in detail according to a hypothetically constructed model. The Utah location showed advantages in transportation and labor costs while at the same time having a disadvantage in the cost of steel.

Since the analysis is made with respect to the model, which is based on certain assumptions, the use of different models would naturally lead to different results.

Both the advantages and disadvantages of the Utah location would most …

Care is taken to keep both positions separated for each leads to entirely different policy recommendations. A more general theoretical structure is presented which will be useful in analyzing the relevance …

The New American War Of Independence_May 1967, Joseph W. Barr

BBER Publications

The article places special emphasis on education and workforce development. Barr argues that poverty and unemployment result largely from inadequate educational opportunity and vocational preparation. He identifies unused human potential, particularly among the poor, racial minorities, and other disadvantaged groups, as a major economic resource that could be mobilized through expanded education, job training, and equal opportunity programs. In this respect, the report views human-capital investment as essential both to economic growth and to social justice.
