Survey Of Methodologies For Valuing Externalities And Public Goods, F. Gregory Hayden

Department of Economics: Faculty Publications

The purpose of this report is to explain and evaluate six different methodologies for the valuation of externalities and public goods with respect to natural resources and the ecosystem. The six methodologies are: 1) general systems analysis, 2) the social fabric matrix, 3) direct cost, 4) contingent valuation, 5) travel cost, and 6) the property approach. The explanation and analysis contained in this report intends to determine their applicability to a broad definition of an ecosystem or socioecosystem.

The concept of externalities in the field of economics is essentially a concept formulated to take account of interdependence in a model …

School Transitions And Adjustment During Early Adolescence, Lisa J. Crockett, Anne C. Petersen, Julie A. Graber, John E. Schulenberg, Aaron Ebata

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

The aim of this investigation was to determine the impact of the timing and number of school transitions on young adolescents’ subsequent adjustment. Three groups of adolescents (total N = 253) were compared: those making a single early school transition prior to sixth grade, those making a single later transition prior to seventh grade, and those making a double transition prior to both sixth and seventh grades. Adjustment was assessed in terms of course grades and self-image. Negative effects were found for both early and repeated school transitions, with the double transition being especially debilitating. In addition, effects were seen …

A Theory Of The Sociology Of Women, Helen A. Moore, Jane C. Ollenburger

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

Feminist theories present a number of options for organizing a model of inequality for women. At times, these present mutually exclusive concepts or definitions, or even causal factors. Patriarchal theories will not be used because they do not perceive women's oppression. Without an assumption of sex stratification and oppression, women's reality cannot be accurately described. Along with these patriarchal models, sex role socialization theories have been criticized for having (1) an emphasis on finding a singular universal truth and verification method, (2) a commitment to objectivity and observer neutrality, (3) dichotomous classification and primarily causal models, (4) ahistorical views, and …

The Nebraska Natural Heritage Program: Two Year Progress Report, Mary Clausen, Mike Fritz, Gerry Steinauer

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

Since European settlement, human activities have totally eliminated the natural vegetation from approximately 50 percent of Nebraska’s landscape, and of that remaining most has been heavily impacted. As a result, numerous plants and animals have been extirpated from the state and many others are threatened.

The destruction of Nebraska’s natural diversity resulted in both public and private conservation groups recognizing the need for a centralized and accessible biological database for the state’s rare species and natural community types. Toward this end, the Nebraska Natural Heritage Program (NENHP) was established in August, 1987 through a cooperative effort between The Nature Conservancy …

Institutionalism For What: To Understand Inevitable Progress Or For Policy Relevance?, F. Gregory Hayden

Department of Economics: Faculty Publications

In two recent papers, Anne Mayhew challenged the approach and purpose of institutionalism [Mayhew 1987a, 1987b]. Her message was that institutionalism should be concerned with describing cultures in order to understand the inevitable flow of human progress, and should not be undertaking analysis for the purpose of social evaluation and policy. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the insufficiency of the base upon which that message was constructed.

Teachers' Expectations About The Timing Of Developmental Skills: A Cross-Cultural Study, Carolyn P. Edwards, Lella Gandini

Department of Child, Youth, and Family Studies: Faculty Publications

Today, in the United States, teachers often need to understand what behaviors are normal in terms of children's cultural background. To understand children, teachers of course must have authentic respect for cultural diversity. But they also need something more: depth of knowledge about child development so they know what to expect of children of a given age. Teachers hold internal guidelines regarding many behaviors, but to what degree are they objective standards that can be applied to all children? How much, instead, do they reflect unconscious cultural biases? In recent years, we have begun to find out more about people’s …

Arousal And Physiological Toughness: Implications For Mental And Physical Health, Richard A. Dienstbier

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

From W. B. Cannon’s identification of adrenaline with “fight or flight” to modern views of stress, negative views of peripheral physiological arousal predominate. Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) arousal is associated with anxiety, neuroticism, the Type A personality, cardiovascular disease, and immune system suppression; illness susceptibility is associated with life events requiring adjustments. “Stress control” has become almost synonymous with arousal reduction. A contrary positive view of peripheral arousal follows from studies of subjects exposed to intermittent stressors. Such exposure leads to low SNS arousal base rates, but to strong and responsive challenge- or stress-induced SNS-adrenal-medullary arousal, with resistance to brain …

Shooting Yourself In The Foot With Due Care: Psychotherapists And Crystallized Standards Of Tort Liability, Robert F. Schopp, David B. Wexler

Nebraska College of Law: Faculty Publications

Professional organizations sometimes promulgate guidelines intended to inform their members' practice. These standards may be designed to guide practitioners under ordinary conditions, or they may define an ideal toward which to strive. If courts adopt idealized standards as criteria of responsible practice for the purpose of establishing tort liability, professional organizations might respond by refraining from developing such guidelines or by framing them with an eye toward preventing liability rather than strictly for the purpose of enhancing patient care. In either case, the courts' actions and the organizations' responses might hinder, rather than enhance, the therapeutic project of the mental …

The Comparative Effectiveness Of Systematic Desensitization And An Integrative Approach In Treating Public Speaking Anxiety: A Literature Review And A Preliminary Investigation, Ana M. Rossi, William J. Seiler

Department of Communication Studies: Faculty Publications

An analysis of the literature related to public speaking anxiety (PSA) and various treatments of it are discussed. PSA is a state or situational type of anxiety which can have tremendous effects on those who suffer from it. Two of the major treatments—systematic desensitization (SD) and the integrative approach (IA)—are reviewed and then experimentally tested to determine which is the more effective in treating PSA. The results are somewhat inclusive, but there is strong evidence to suggest that both SD and IA reduce trait and state anxiety. It was found, however, that IA is more effective in decreasing the symptoms …

Pig Vocalizations Under Selected Husbandry Practices, H. Xin, J. A. Deshazer, Daniel W. Leger

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

Acoustical characteristics of vocalizations of sows, piglets, and nursery pigs under selected husbandry practices were analyzed with a digital signal processing system. The duration (D) and major energy-resonance frequency (P) for each call were determined as follows: a) processing of piglets (D = 0.81 s and f* = 3 700 Hz); b) food anticipation of breeding-gestation sows (2.50 s and 3 000 Hz); c) isolation of piglet (0.34 s and 500, 3 500 Hz); d) startling of nursery pigs (0.29 s and 900 Hz); e) sows in heat (3.07 s and 1 375 Hz); f) farrowing (0.10 s and 3 …

Improving Life Chances For Children In Nebraska, Mary Mcmanus Kluender, Robert L. Egbert

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

To a great extent, the potential of a child's future is determined by his or her earliest experiences, including education. The life chances of children, both those who are presumed to be at risk and those who are presumed to have a wide range of opportunities, are examined and discussed in this chapter. Factors that help or hinder life chances are described, and data that serve as indicators of life chances are addressed. National and state data about children considered to be at risk of school failure are reviewed. These data indicate that educators, administrators and policy makers should work …

The Seventeenth George Eliot Memorial Lecture: George Eliot And Marriage, Graham Handley

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

Marian Evans and George Henry Lewes began to live together in July 1854, and her letters to friends and to her brother lsaac later show how seriously she regarded their relationship. As far as she was concerned it was permanent, a marriage of true minds and hearts. As she put it, 'Light and easily broken ties are what I neither desire theoretically nor could live for practically. Women who are satisfied with such ties do not act as I have done. They obtain what they desire and are still invited to dinner. 'In her letter to lsaac she refers to …

The Daughters Of Shiphrah: Folk Healers And Midwives Of The Great Plains, Timothy J. Kloberdanz

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Prairie folk healers and midwives seldom have been the focus of scholarly investigation, despite the crucial role they played in the settlement of countless Euro-American communities in the Great Plains. These individuals, a majority of whom were women, brought with them to the American and Canadian grasslands a wealth of folk medical knowledge and a variety of health-oriented, traditional skills.

Review Of Brandon: Geographical Perspectives On The Wheat City, Brenton M. Barr

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

This valuable contribution to the regional literature on Canadian urban places was produced to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Brandon University's Department of Geography. The book demonstrates the depth, range, and degree of integration that a team of geographers can achieve. Brandon comprises eleven chapters, a preface by the three editors, and a foreword by one of Canada's most distinguished historical geographers, John Warkentin, who reminds us that in regional studies "it is absolutely vital to understand the experiences of the people who live there, and who have lived there in the past."

Being A Lawyer For A Child Too Young To Be A Client: A Clinical Study, Stephen Wizner, Miriam Berkman

Nebraska Law Review

The way legislatures and courts view the role of children in the divorce process has changed dramatically in recent years. The substantive standard for decision has remained relatively constant, but the procedure for gathering and presenting the facts relevant to that substantive standard has been modified in a majority of American jurisdictions to provide for independent legal representation of the child by a court-appointed attorney who serves as "counsel" or "guardian ad litem" for the child. The widespread adoption of this procedural innovation has generated considerable professional and scholarly debate over the role of the child's legal representative in …
