The Yongnam-Ro: An Historical Geography Of A Korean Royal Road. (Volumes I And Ii)., Young-Joon Choe

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The Yongnam-ro, the main communication artery between Seoul and Pusan, was the shortest and the most important route running through the central part of southern Korea. This road evolved as a military campaign route in ancient times and finally as an administrative communication artery in the Yi Dynasty. Although spanning some rugged areas in its course, the Yongnam-ro had some advantages: first, it avoided the troublesome communication system connected by river crossings because its path followed longitudinal valleys of the Han and Naktong rivers; second, it connected the waterways of the Han and Naktong; third, it formed the pivot belt …

A Study Of Moral Development Of Selected Employees In Certain Public Accounting Firms., Guy L. Tull Jr

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Little empirical research exists in the area of measuring morality and moral development of business, business people, and business-related professions such as accounting and law. While these professions have Codes of Professional Conduct that state that members must be of high moral character, mechanisms for empirically measuring moral character have, until recently, been non-existent. Through the pioneering research by Lawrence Kohlberg, a moral development testing instrument is now available. The purpose of this study was to measure the level of moral development of auditors in three national ("Big-Eight") accounting firms, utilizing Kohlberg's stage theory of moral development. Eighteen subjects were …

The Vertebrate Paleontology Of Late Pleistocene (Rancholabrean) Mammalian Sites Of Louisiana, Linda L. Rice

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This thesis describes the late Pleistocene (Rancholabrean) vertebrate paleontology of Louisiana through the use of vertebrates as paleoenvironmental indicators. This method of interpretation is established through morphological description and evaluation, taphonomy, systematic paleontology, and in some cases, the use of modern analogs.

This study compares and contrasts Louisiana with other southeastern states during the late Pleistocene. This comparison shows that Louisiana did not vary significantly from the rest of the southeastern United States during the late Rancholabrean. This work also shows that the most common habitats of Louisiana at this time were open temperate woods, grasslands, and marshes. Geographically, most …

An Instructional Sequence In Experimental Design And Statistics For Graduate Music Therapy Students., Anthony Arthur Decuir

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study was to develop a course in experimental design and statistics for graduate music therapy students. This study was developed in order to address, specifically, research problems in music therapy. Two recent independent studies of graduate research projects of music therapy studies indicated that the chief deficiencies were inadequate research designs and the under-utilization of statistical devices. As an addendum to the development of the course, a survey of the statistical course offerings in graduate and undergraduate music therapy curricula was conducted. The sixty-four music therapy departments approved by the National Association for Music Therapy were …

Indigenism And Feminism In The Prose Fiction Of Rosario Castellanos., George Alexander St. John Robinson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The novel of Indian concern has had a long vogue in Latin America, where it is known alternately as novela indianista or novela indigenista. This tradition in the novel has produced such well known works as Lopez y Fuentes' El indio, Alcides Arguedas' Raza de bronce, Jorge Icaza's Huasipungo and Ciro Alegr(')ia's El mundo es ancho y ajeno, all published between 1919 and 1941. These novels seek to illustrate the deplorable conditions of life in Indian communities from Mexico to Bolivia. In so doing, however, the Indian characters of these novels are generally reduced to single dimensional characters devoid of …

Second-Language Acquisition And The Development Of Pragmatic Code Selection Skills., Rebecca Ann Marcon

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Language samples and nonverbal behavior of 50 children attending bilingual Kindergarten programs were recorded from children's conversations with a puppet on three separate occasions. In order to determine the influence of the listener's language on children's code selection, the puppet spoke a different language on each occasion. Of particular interest was the extent to which children would make pragmatic adjustments in their verbal and nonverbal language codes in response to different listener needs. Differences in code selection which could be attributed to variation in second language proficiency were explored by contrasting the behavior of children classified as monolingual, limited second …

The Austrian Problem Of Language And Peter Handke: A Documentation., Donald Russell Bailey

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Linguistic skepticism and the resultant awareness of the limits of language can be traced back to Hamann, Herder, and Humboldt, through Romanticism and French Symbolism, up to modern times. What has come to be called the crisis of language (Sprachkrise) can be viewed as one segment of a broader, multi-media phenomenon. The intensity of this crisis is concentrated in Austro-Hungary in the waning days of the Habsburg Monarchy. From this time forward supersensitivity to language remains a strongly Austrian phenomenon and can be followed through the European, German-language, and Austrian movements of this century, up to the founding of the …

Alfred North Whitehead And The Quest For Political Vision., Larry W. Chappell

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study explores Alfred North Whitehead's relevance for political philosophy by attempting to locate his work within the tradition of "classical political philosophy." Classical political philosophy is understood to involve a determined quest for "vision" in all matters, including politics. The quest is constituted by several interlocking inquiries which are schematically represented as (1) The quest for comprehensiveness: speculation; (2) The quest for God: theology; (3) The quest for wholeness: ethics; (4) The quest for man: philosophical anthropology. Each of these inquiries is embodied in the key works of classical political philosophy such as Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, …

Child Behavior In Venezuela And The U.S.: A Cross-Cultural Comparison., John Michael Fitch

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purposes of this study were (a) to carry out a factor analysis of the Spanish translation of the Children's Behavioral Classification Project questionnaire on data obtained from Venezuela, and (b) to compare the result with that of parallel data obtained in the United States with the original English version of the same questionnaire. The Children's Behavioral Classification Project questionnaire is an instrument designed to be administered to parents of children 6-13 years old for the purpose of contributing information about the child's outward behavior useful in understanding the psychological, physical, or conduct problems which the child might display. The …

A Quantitative Evaluation Of Landsat For Monitoring Suspended Sediments In A Fluvial Channel., Soon Tae Kim

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Since the launch of Landsat-1 July, 1972, the orbital remote sensing system has made significant contribution to earth science research. Landsat's repetitive "earth observations" are of great value for monitoring changes in earth surface conditions through time. Investigation of suspended sediment concentrations in natural water bodies is one of the major areas of Landsat applications. An attempt has been made to evaluate the utility of Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) digital data for monitoring suspended sediment concentrations in a natural river channel using Tarbert Landing, Mississippi on the lower Mississippi River as the test site. Specific purposes of the study were: …

Sex Typed Language., Margaret Estes Johnson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between psychological sex typing and patterns of language usage. Seventy-nine Louisiana State University undergraduate students were categorized according to the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (Spence, Helmreich and Stapp, 1975). Sex type groups included: psychologically androgynous (High Masculine/High Feminine); masculine (High Masculine/Low Feminine); feminine (Low Masculine/High Feminine); and undifferentiated (Low Masculine/Low Feminine), for both male (n = 40) and female (n = 39). Three written language samples were gathered for each subject. Subjects were asked to spend ten minutes writing in response to each of the three verbal stimuli. Two of the …

Geojurisprudence: Studies In Law, Liberty, And Landscapes., Ernest St. Clair Easterly Iii

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Every culture must generally possess an order that is either deliberately created (human design) or the result of experience (human action). Two ordering forces, Human Design and Human Action, manifest themselves in the form of laws and legal systems which govern the individuals who form the thus ordered civil society. The Anglo-American Common Law family of legal systems and the Romano-Germanic Civil Law family of legal systems basically reflect the ordering forces of Human Action and Human Design, respectively. Because laws and legal systems leave the imprint of sovereign authority on the landscape, the study of the culture history and …

Para-Proxemic Attributions: An Investigation Into The Relationship Between Close-Up And Extreme Close-Up Camera Shots And Audience Response., David Mitchell Klein

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences in para-proxemic attributions (effectations based upon the relative distance of a media source) to the extreme close-up as opposed to the close-up camera shots. Differences in audience response by sex of subject were found. Two stimuli were simultaneously videotaped of a man making an informative speech. The first tape was composed of establishing shots and extreme close-up shots. The second tape was comprised of establishing shots and close-up shots. The establishing shots were constant in both tapes. In the first tape a cut from the establishing shot to …

The Impact Of The Structural Parameters Of Age And Race Upon Residents' Evaluations Of Community., Gary Martin Stokley Sr

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The research reported in this dissertation deals directly with an individual's perception of his or her community and family circumstances. The major question explored deals with what structural factors influence individuals' perceptions. In order to examine this question, the study primarily employs structural parameters such as age, sex, race, community, etc. to note differences or similarities among subpopulations. Specifically, the study explores the differences or similarities between adults and adolescents in rural communities. The data includes both an adult and adolescent sample taken in three rural communities in South Louisiana. The racial composition of the communities includes black, Indian, and …
