A Comparative Study Of Successful Female And Male Educational Administrators, Loretta M. Delong

Theses and Dissertations

Women who seek careers in educational administration find that, in practice, equality of the sexes is an illusion. There is an apparent need to better understand the variables which have had an impact on the success of female educational administrators in comparison to male educational administrators. As a result, this study was undertaken for the purpose of examining what the differences and similarities are between female and male educational administrators. A questionnaire was constructed and administered to 200 administrators deemed to be successful by the Executive Educator. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed utilizing the t-test and Chi …

Preschool Behavioral Precursors Of The Delinquency Of Juvenile Offenders: A Retrospective Study, Kay A. Halverson

Theses and Dissertations

Early behaviors of juvenile offenders and nonoffenders were studied to assess differences between the two groups. Experimental subjects were 50 youth residing in three northeastern counties of North Dakota who had committed two or more offenses. Control subjects were 50 non-offenders matched for birthdate, sex, and school. Data were collected retrospectively from both groups on Form 1 of the Louisville Behavior Checklist (LBC)» an inventory designed to detect psychopathological behaviors among preschool children. The responses were analyzed in terms of hypotheses that were designed to address (a) which scales of the LBC would show a significant difference between the offender …

Human Resource Accounting: Putting A Price On People, Michael P. Maciver

Theses and Dissertations

Since its' introduction in the early 1960s, the idea of Human Resources Accounting has, for the most part, been resisted, rejected, and left the perish in the pages of business periodicals. Exactly why such a well-intentioned program has been met with such disdain is uncertain.

This study proceeds with a discussion of the topic of Human Resources Accounting, outlining two main tasks which proponents of the idea have had to accomplish thus far: winning acceptance of the idea of the human resources as a capitalizable asset and deciding upon what basis the value of the human asset will be quantified. …

The Invention Of Oz, Janet Faye Daley Lysengen

Theses and Dissertations

Since L. Frank Baum published his first Oz book in 1900, Oz has become an integral part of American society; yet, only recently have his books begun to receive critical attention. Critics seem most interested in dealing with them in terms of sociology, popular culture, and psychology, but a few have recognized Baum's contributions to the birth of science fiction, to the depiction of a female hero in Dorothy, and to Baum's imaginative and perceptive examination of what separates humans from machines. This thesis will analyze the literary dimension of the Oz series. The goal will be to perceive the …

The Effects Of Keyguard Use And Pelvic Position On Speed And Accuracy Of Typing For A Physically Handicapped Child: A Case Study, Diane J. Berg

Theses and Dissertations

A single case study was designed to explore the effects that two pelvic positions and the use of a keyguard have on a physically handicapped child's speed and accuracy in typing. The subject, an 8-year-old male with cerebral palsy, was positioned in four combinations of keyguard versus non-keyguard use and neutral versus posterior pelvic positions during eight typing sessions over a time period of one month. A two way analysis of variance by regression using a linear model was performed on speed and accuracy. The results indicated that the use of the keyguard increased accuracy (p < .01) and decreased speed (p < .01). Pelvic positioning did not appear to have a major effect on either speed or accuracy. Informal observations indicated that typing alone did not have a significant effect on spelling skills. Recommendations for further studies are addressed.

Guided Fantasy: A Tool For Therapy, Marcia L. Healy

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using instructed guided fantasy to decrease anxiety in a child with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. It was intended that the child would use guided fantasy to develop an internal coping mechanism for reducing anxiety during a weekly gold shot injection, which was identified as anxiety-producing. An embedded, single-case design was selected for this case study. Qualities of guided fantasy were globally examined. Other aspects of the subject's performance, which were examined included musculoskeletal abilities and limitations, cognitive abilities, ability of the subject to relax via specific relaxation exercises, the subject's …

The Languages Of The Zambales Mountains: A Philippine Lexicostatistic Study, John S. Wimbish

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction: "A lexicostatistic survey was conducted in early 1985 as part of a comprehensive study of the languages spoken in the Zambales Mountains of the Philippines. The survey involved the collection and analysis of some forty word lists, resulting in the definition of six distinct languages in an area whose linguistic situation had previously been relatively unknown. This paper presents these survey findings in the form of a language tree, and introduces a general-use computer program which greatly enhanced the accuracy and speed of the lexicostatistic analysis."

Reduplication In Majang, Peter Unseth

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction: "Majang is a member of the Nilo-Saharan family of languages, part of the Surma cluster. It is spoken in southwestern Ethiopia in Kefa and Illubador provinces, with a small group also in Wellega. There are only two published linguistic descriptions, one by Cerulli (1948) and a recent, more comprehensive and reliable one by Bender (1983). In his article, Bender gives five examples of verb reduplication in Magang (1983a:121). Building on Bender, this present paper gives many more examples of verb reduplication, explains the different uses of reduplication, and describes the phonological rules for reduplicating. Examples of (possibly) …
