The German-Russian Brauche., Dawn Schock

Undergraduate Theses and Senior Projects

The thesis is a study of German-Russian Brauche--an alternative system of healing which exists in south-central North Dakota. The text is divided into two sections: a history of the German-Russian people, complied from written sources; and a description and discussion of Brauche which relies extensively on personal interviews(included in the appendix) with Mrs. Eva Iszler, a practicing Brauche in Ashley, North Dakota.

The history of the German-Russian people is characterized by two major migrations: from Germany to Russia, and from Russia to the United States. Because these migrations were en masse and because the group has had to encounter three …

Postulated Late Prehistoric Human Population Movements In The Central Plains: A Critical Review, John Ludwickson

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Hypotheses which concern human "migration" within and without the Central Subarea of the Great Plains during the Late Prehistoric period are examined. The popular notion that peoples from central Nebraska migrated to the Panhandle region of Texas-Oklahoma is shown to be suspect if not false. The idea that peoples inhabiting the Missouri River trench in Nebraska were slowly migrating northwesterly finds support. Finally, evidence concerning postulated migrations of ancestral Pawnee and Arikara into the Missouri trench in South Dakota is reviewed, with two hypotheses emerging.

The Realizing Character Of The Social Sciences, Andrew Larkin

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Because of successful construction of theories in the mathematical, physical, and biological sciences, and because of their unchallenged technological usefulness, the philosophy of science has concentrated on the formal and epistemological aspects of sciences. However, the less formal social sciences have had a greater impact on society. This realizing character of the sciences, i.e., their influence on society through policy (in the case of the social sciences), has been inadequately studied. In this paper the normative character of the social sciences is seen from the perspective of realization. Norms as internal and external criteria, which are entailed by realization, are …

Kant's Subjectivist Theory Of Space, Mark C. Timmons

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

In his 1780 Kritik der Reinen Vernunft, Kant rejects those objectivist views of space according to which space belongs to the order of things in themselves, either as itself a thing in itself (Newton), or reducible to properties of things in themselves (Leibniz), and argues for a subjectivist alternative. What this subjectivist view comes to is unclear. This paper provides an analysis of a few key passages from the Kritik in an attempt to reconstruct Kant's doctrine of space.

Contributions Of Pierre Paul Broca To Cancer Genetics, Anne J. Krush

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Pierre P. Broca was born in a small town near Bordeaux, France, June 28, 1824, the son of a Huguenot physician. After graduation from a local college, he entered medical school at the University of Paris at the age of 17, was graduated in three years. Five years later he received the M.D. degree, having special interests in pathology, anatomy, and surgery. In 1853 he was appointed assistant professor at the Faculty of Medicine and surgeon of the "Central Bureau." Broca made significant scientific and clinical contributions in all of the above fields as well as in anthropology. He founded …

Long-Term Solar Modulation Of Radiocarbon Production, Steven C. Haack, Thomas E. Mcginnis

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

The variation of atmospheric radiocarbon concentration over the past 8,000 years is generally well explained in terms of the modulation of radiocarbon production by the Earth's magnetic field. The reconstruction of this variation as based upon the known fluctuation of the Earth's field, however, is slightly out of phase with and of a smaller amplitude than the empirically derived curve.

Correlations between solar magnetic activity and climatic trends are well established over a period of a few hundred years. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the solar magnetic field modulates the production of radiocarbon in the same manner as does …

A System Model Of Shawnee Indian Migration, Jerry E. Clark

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Existing theories or "laws" of migration prove to be inadequate for understanding and explaining the widespread migration of the Shawnee Indians. By viewing Shawnee migration as a system, their movement from place to place can be understood in terms of cultural, historical, and environmental variables. Migration to and from Alabama and eastern Pennsylvania indicates how these variables operated to make a particular location favorable or unfavorable for the Shawnee.
