Students' Perceptions Of WebctTm In The Dental Hygiene Curriculum, Faith Miller
Students' Perceptions Of WebctTm In The Dental Hygiene Curriculum, Faith Miller
Online Journal for Workforce Education and Development
The purpose of this study was to determine student response to the integration of web-based instruction as a teaching method in baccalaureate dental hygiene courses. A 22-item questionnaire was developed and administered to a convenience sample of two groups of dental hygiene students regarding basic computer skills/knowledge and their perception of using WebCT™ as a supplement to traditional classroom instruction. The most common problems reported when visiting the WebCT™ course page by both groups were the inability to open/download files quickly, and slow browser and difficulties with the internet server. Both groups reported that more orientation on WebCT™ could have …

Political Belief Networks: Socio-Cognitive Heterogeneity In American Public Opinion, Delia Baldassarri, Amir Goldberg
Political Belief Networks: Socio-Cognitive Heterogeneity In American Public Opinion, Delia Baldassarri, Amir Goldberg
Working Papers
Most research on public opinion assumes that American political views are structured by a belief system with a clearly-defined liberal-conservative polarity; however, this is not true of all Americans. In this article we document systematic heterogeneity in the organization of political attitudes and explain its basis in the sociodemographic profile of the respondents. We use Relational Class Analysis (RCA), a network-based method for detecting heterogeneity in collective patterns of opinion, to identify distinctive belief networks, each shared by a different group of respondents. Analyzing ANES data between 1984 and 2004, we identify three groups of American citizens: Ideologues, whose political …
Prevalence And Timing Of Enamel Hypoplasias In The Vagnari Skeletal Sample (1st - 4th Centuries A.D.), Chrystal Lea Nause
Prevalence And Timing Of Enamel Hypoplasias In The Vagnari Skeletal Sample (1st - 4th Centuries A.D.), Chrystal Lea Nause
Theses
This thesis investigates infant and childhood health in the Roman period (1st to 4th centuries A.D.) cemetery at Vagnari using data on the prevalence and timing of linear enamel hypoplasias (LEH‘s). These results are examined in the context of historical and archaeological evidence for childhood health in ancient Rome. Analysis of the prevalence of LEH‘s in 48 individuals reveals a low frequency (64.6 %) of enamel hypoplasias in comparison with other Roman period skeletal samples, suggesting that political–economic or geographical variables may have contributed to the generally healthy conditions for subadults at Vagnari. Intrasite analysis indicates no significant difference between …

Continuity In Technological Change: A Political Economic Analysis Of Digital Film Exhibition, Benjamin J. Birkinbine
Theses
This thesis analyzes the current transition to digital cinema projection technologies within the film exhibition business. I begin by discussing two historical cases of technological change in film exhibition technology, and I identify the corporations that successfully controlled periods of technological change in order to solidify their position atop the film industry. In drawing from these historical case studies, I examine the current transition to digital cinema projection technologies by discussing the structure of the film exhibition business and identifying those exhibitors that are controlling the transition to digital cinema. I find that the top three exhibitors - Regal Cinemas, …
Parent Engagement And Cultural Capital: Negotiating Culture In A Multilingual/Multiethnic School, Paula Andrea Echeverri-Sucerquia
Parent Engagement And Cultural Capital: Negotiating Culture In A Multilingual/Multiethnic School, Paula Andrea Echeverri-Sucerquia
Dissertations
This study explored how a multicultural/multilingual school negotiated culture with limited English proficient (LEP) students' families, particularly in the context of parent involvement activities. In order to understand how such negotiation of culture occurred, the researcher focused on the perspectives that school administrators, teachers and parents of students in an English as a Second Language (ESL) program had on the education of LEP students and their parents' involvement in school-organized activities. It also focused on the participants' understandings of cultural capital and the extent to which the school builds on immigrant /sojourner families' knowledge and culture to support their children's …
Variables Affecting Hand Sanitizer Use In Public Facilities, Amy Katherine Loukus
Variables Affecting Hand Sanitizer Use In Public Facilities, Amy Katherine Loukus
Theses
The following research was conducted to contribute to the greater understanding of the impact that most often utilized methods of public awareness and education have on behaviors relative to sickness and disease for the general public in terms of action toward prevention behaviors within a healthcare setting. The psycho educational approach is often considered an effective means to promote behavior change as it relates to preventative behavior, and in the clinical therapeutic setting has shown some relevance as an effective procedure. Unfortunately, no research as of yet speaks to the comparative effectiveness this approach may have over other approaches often …
The Mobilization Of Memory: The Battle Of Waterloo In German And British Memory, 1815-1915, Kevin Pryor
The Mobilization Of Memory: The Battle Of Waterloo In German And British Memory, 1815-1915, Kevin Pryor
Theses
This Thesis examines the evolution of the Battle of Waterloo from the perspective of both British and German historical memory over the course of a century. In popular media, Waterloo emerged as a potent symbol for the unity of the nation in both German and British contexts. The Thesis's comparative study of historical memory argues that historical memory is integrally related to a society's development; subsequent generations of Britons and Germans reimagined themselves fighting Waterloo in such diverse media as poetry, editorials, popular history, and iconography. In the British context, the memory of Waterloo from 1815-1914 was partial to small-scale …

Social Structure And Culture: Applying Cross-National Indicators Of Criminal Violence To Domestic Terrorism, Travis Shane Irwin
Social Structure And Culture: Applying Cross-National Indicators Of Criminal Violence To Domestic Terrorism, Travis Shane Irwin
Theses
Despite the increase in terrorism research post September 11, 2001, little is known about domestic terrorism though it occurs at overwhelmingly higher rates as compared to transnational terrorism. Although the use of criminological theory and methods to study terrorism has increased recently, there are relatively few terrorism studies within the criminological literature. Drawing upon extant criminological theories of violence among countries, this study uses the recently created Global Terrorism Database to examine the distribution and correlates of domestic terrorism among 72 developed nations between 1970 and 1997. This study examined the following questions. First, do prior established predictors of criminal …

Contextual Teaching With Computer-Assisted Instruction, A R. Putnam, Lynn Leach
Contextual Teaching With Computer-Assisted Instruction, A R. Putnam, Lynn Leach
Online Journal for Workforce Education and Development
Computer technology has made substantial contributions to education and educators are now confronted with determining how to best incorporate it as a teaching tool. Educators have also long struggled with how to make what is learned in school more useful in other contexts. This review of recent literature was undertaken in an attempt to determine if computer-assisted instruction is compatible with contextual teaching and learning approaches. The four computer-assisted assets of flexibility, format, interactivity and navigational methods were examined because they yield the most interpretive evidence of compatibility with contextual teaching and learning approaches and their characteristics. It was concluded …

The Segmented Electorate: Presidential Campaigns And Their Consequences In An Information Age, Scott D. Mcclurg, Philip Habel
The Segmented Electorate: Presidential Campaigns And Their Consequences In An Information Age, Scott D. Mcclurg, Philip Habel
Publications
It is common to think of presidential elections as long campaigns waged by two warring powers, each competing for the hearts-and-minds of American voters. Yet this metaphor masks considerable variation in how voters experience the campaign in the run-up-to Election Day. We focus on how the rise of candidate-centered campaigns in has created a situation in which some voters experience an avalanche of information from the campaigns and others hear next to nothing. We argue that when we carefully consider which voters should be most responsive to campaign information, that the pattern of segmentation that exists does not advance a …

Screening Of Antimicrobial Ethanolic Extract Of Peristrophe Bicalyculata, O. E. Giwa, O. E. Seyifunmi, B. L. Adewumi, V. T. Adebote, A. O. Aladejimokun
Ethnobotanical Leaflets
The ethanolic extract from Peritrophe bicalyculata leaves was evaluated for the presence of phytochemicals and its antimicrobial activity in vitro against selected bacteria and fungi using the antibiotic gentamycin as control. The extract showed the presence of secondary metabolites such as alkaloid, saponin, tannin and steroid. It also inhibited the growth of the tested microorganisms at different concentrations. However stronger in-vitro activity was recorded against Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger, Asperigillus clavatus and Rhizopus stolonifer. The antimicrobial activity of the plant extract is an evidence of ethnomedicinal potential of the plant.

Nitrogen Supply And Cyanide Concentration Influence The Enrichment Of Nitrogen From Cyanide In Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) And Sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor L.), Stephen Ebbs, Dylan K Kosma, Elizabeth H Nielson, Marylou Machingura, Alan J M Baker, Ian E Woodrow
Publications
Cyanide assimilation by the beta-cyanoalanine pathway produces asparagine, aspartate and ammonium, allowing cyanide to serve as alternate or supplemental source of nitrogen. Experiments with wheat and sorghum examined the enrichment of (15)N from cyanide as a function of external cyanide concentration in the presence or absence of nitrate and/or ammonium. Cyanogenic nitrogen became enriched in plant tissues following exposure to (15)N-cyanide concentrations from 5 to 200 microm, but when exposure occurred in the absence of nitrate and ammonium, (15)N enrichment increased significantly in sorghum shoots at solution cyanide concentrations of > or =50 microm and in wheat roots at 200 microm …
