Narcotic Utilization For Pain Patients Housed In Private And Semi-Private Rooms., Jeffrey Joseph Dolce Jan 1983

Narcotic Utilization For Pain Patients Housed In Private And Semi-Private Rooms., Jeffrey Joseph Dolce

All ETDs from UAB

This investigation examined: (1) the utilization of narcotic analgesics by 40 back pain patients housed in private rooms and 40 patients housed in semi-private rooms ; and (2) the activity patterns of 10 orthopedic/pain patients housed in private rooms and 10 patients in semi-private rooms. It was postulated that patients in private rooms would experience reductions in stimulation which would lower pain tolerance and result in greater use of narcotic analgesics. It was found that pain patients housed in private rooms used more intramuscular request-contingent narcotic analgesics but not greater amounts of other types of narcotic analgesics. Room type, as …

Unity In "No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger" And Mark Twain's Debt To Christian Science., Jeb Midyette Jan 1983

Unity In "No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger" And Mark Twain's Debt To Christian Science., Jeb Midyette

All ETDs from UAB

Since 1969 the traditional assessment of the final fifteen years of Mark Twain's career has undergone a reversal because of the availability of the original Mysterious Stranger Manuscripts. These manuscripts, for the first time, presented three distinct versions of Twain's mysterious stranger stories. Study of these texts has revealed that after Twain's death in 1910, his editor, Albert Bigelow Paine, without Twain's prior consent, combined the body of "The Chronicle of Young Satan," the earliest version of the three different texts, with the conclusion of "No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger," the final version. The novel, published in 1916 by F.A. …


Urban Versus Nonurban Counties: An Analysis Of The Distribution Of The Reagan Block Grant Funds In Alabama., Sandra Elaine Berry Jan 1983

Urban Versus Nonurban Counties: An Analysis Of The Distribution Of The Reagan Block Grant Funds In Alabama., Sandra Elaine Berry

All ETDs from UAB

The purpose of this study is to determine if the State of Alabama distributes program funds underwritten by the Reagan block grants in such a way that the resulting distribution is biased against more urbanized counties. Specifically, this will be determined by looking at the percent change between FY 1981 and FY 1983 in the funding of selected State services at the county level. Percent change permits one to look at changes over time, and time, as will be shown, is an important consideration of this paper.


Residents Without Residences: A Study Of Homelessness In Birmingham, Alabama., James Stephen Cleghorn Jan 1983

Residents Without Residences: A Study Of Homelessness In Birmingham, Alabama., James Stephen Cleghorn

All ETDs from UAB

Popular perceptions of homeless persons are undergoing significant revision in these early years of the 1980's. The traditional pejorative stereotypes are still circulated, as evidenced in the remark made by the morning show DJ reproduced above, but such stereotypes now have to compete against a growing awareness of the homeless as much more than urban ”ground clutter.”


A Study Of Asymmetry In Mosquitofish Populations In Polluted And Nonpolluted Environments Using A New Scale Staining Technique., J Mark Brubaker Jan 1983

A Study Of Asymmetry In Mosquitofish Populations In Polluted And Nonpolluted Environments Using A New Scale Staining Technique., J Mark Brubaker

All ETDs from UAB

Levels of fluctuating asymmetry were compared in two populations of mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) from polluted waters and two populations from nonpolluted waters. Two of the characters studied, pectoral fin rays and lateral line scales, showed no asymmetry in these populations and therefore provided no data for comparisons. A third character, number of pores in the lateral line scales, showed asymmetry in all populations. Asymmetry was quantified in two ways: the absolute difference between counts on left and right sides Id I, and the number of asymmetrical scale pairs, ASP. ASP provided a more sensitive measure of asymmetry than did |d| …
