On The Methodology Of Locating School Education Facilities In Rural India, Vinod K Tewari, Sidheswar Jena Jun 1990

On The Methodology Of Locating School Education Facilities In Rural India, Vinod K Tewari, Sidheswar Jena

IIMB Management Review

There has been a vast expansion of school education facilities in India since the launching of the First Five Year Plan in 1951. The findings of the All India Educational Surveys conducted periodically under the direction of the National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT). Government of India, have revealed that the benefits of this large-scale expansion of school facilities have not been so satisfactory as were expected; inequalities between different areas as well as between social groups in terms of access to school facilities have persisted. There can be many reasons for these disparities in the access to …

The New Christian Right, Social Policy And The Welfare State, James Midgley Jun 1990

The New Christian Right, Social Policy And The Welfare State, James Midgley

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

While the campaigns of the New Christian Right on abortion, affirmative action, school prayer and other issues have been well documented, little is known about the movement's attitude towards state welfare programs. Identifying three distinctive sources of fundamentalist antipathy to the welfare state, this paper seeks to draw attention to interesting although unconventional ideas about social welfare that should be recognized and understood by scholars concerned with the study of social policy.


Nebraska Preschool Child Care, 1988 - A Survey Of Parents On Access To Quality Child Care, Patricia A. Funk Jun 1990

Nebraska Preschool Child Care, 1988 - A Survey Of Parents On Access To Quality Child Care, Patricia A. Funk

Publications

A survey of child care arrangements for Nebraska preschool children was conducted in 1988 by the Center for Applied Urban Research (now, Center for Public Affairs Research), University of Nebraska at Omaha, under the direction of Dr. Christine Reed. The purposes of the survey were to document the characteristics of the child care arrangements used in 1988 by Nebraska parents with preschool-age children and to identify household characteristics associated with the different types of child care that parents chose.

Results from the survey were incorporated with other research data into the report, "Child Day Care Policy Issues in Nebraska" (Reed …


The Blacksburg Manifesto And The Postmodern Debate: Public Administration In A Time Without A Name, Gary S. Marshall, Orion F. White Jun 1990

The Blacksburg Manifesto And The Postmodern Debate: Public Administration In A Time Without A Name, Gary S. Marshall, Orion F. White

Public Administration Faculty Publications

The question, "Does the message of the Blacksburg Manifesto fit the times that we are in now and the times that seem to be shaping up in the next decade or longer?" is addressed by epistemologically locating the Blacksburg Manifesto and by introducing the postmodern debate to the field of public administration. The well-known Blacksburg Manifesto is described as an example of high modernism, beyond the functionalist paradigm, because although the central commitment is to reason and progress, the classic forms of administrative rationality are surpassed. It is classified as high modernism because the agency perspective, as articulated in the …

The Demise Of The Catastrophic Coverage Act: A Reflection Of The Inability Of Congress To Respond To Changing Needs Of The Elderly And Their Families, Linda Boise Jun 1990

The Demise Of The Catastrophic Coverage Act: A Reflection Of The Inability Of Congress To Respond To Changing Needs Of The Elderly And Their Families, Linda Boise

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This paper considers the recent demise of the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988 in the context of the needs of the elderly and their families. Although the surtax imposed on middle and upper income elderly was the ostensible reason for the anger this Act generated among the elderly, other factors related to the concerns and needs of the elderly and of their families also prevented it from being supported. This article discusses the characteristics of the Catastrophic Coverage Act as a continuation of the historical bias of Medicare in favor of acute medical care and as an effort by …


Discipline And Pacification In The Modern Administrative State: The Case Of Social Welfare Fraud, Alec Pemberton Jun 1990

Discipline And Pacification In The Modern Administrative State: The Case Of Social Welfare Fraud, Alec Pemberton

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Foucault and Giddins emphasise the power of the modern "Administrative State", arguing that we now have at our disposal an enormous bureaucratic machinery for processing and controlling various problematical human behaviours. Australian data on fraud of the social welfare system are examined to throw light on Foucault's and Giddens' views. Figures relating to prosecution for fraud of both the Unemployment and Supporting Parents Benefits system in the last six years throw some doubt on the concept of a vastly powerful "Administrative State apparatus.'" Certainly a massive state bureaucracy has been established to apprehend cheats, yet the data show consistently that …


The Relationship Between Private And Commercial Vehicle Driver Records And Accidents In Michigan, Robert E. Maki Jun 1990

The Relationship Between Private And Commercial Vehicle Driver Records And Accidents In Michigan, Robert E. Maki

Dissertations

The primary objective of this study was to determine whether previous accidents and citations are reliable predictors of future tractor-trailer heavy truck accidents in Michigan. In addition, the background material on accident trends shows how heavy truck safety policy was formed at the Michigan Department of Transportation.

Historically, accident prediction models have been able to explain only small portions of the accident experience. More recent studies have tended to show that previous citation and accident experience were good predictors of commercial vehicle accidents. Most studies have suffered from an admitted lack of exposure data and incomplete accident statistics.

Through the …

Visions For Greater Fremont Strategic Action Plan, Center For Public Affairs Research (Cpar)

Publications

The city of Fremont, Nebraska, has a proud history beginning with its founding in 1856. Wagon trails that once went through the town were soon transformed into railroads, contributing to the industrialization of the city before the turn of the century.

Today, Fremont is a city of 24,000 people. Although the population has remained relatively stable over the past 30 years, the economy has continued to grow. The City of Fremont, the Fremont Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Fremont Chamber Industrial Foundation have been actively promoting growth and development during the last decade. Although the 1980s were dominated by …
