The Relationship Between Coping, Anxiety, And Quality Of Life For Taiwanese Post-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Patients, Heng-Hsin Tung Phd Sep 2006

The Relationship Between Coping, Anxiety, And Quality Of Life For Taiwanese Post-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Patients, Heng-Hsin Tung Phd

Dissertations

Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) is a stressful event and requires coping strategies to achieve adaptation. In Taiwan, despite the fact that the incidence of CABG is increasing in both men and women, research on post-CABG adaptation is very limited and no research focuses on outcomes for women. This can lead to problems for health care providers who lack effective interventions to help these patients. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between coping, anxiety, and quality of life in Taiwanese post-CABG patients. A cross-sectional correlational design was used; the sample consisted of 50 female and …

Connecting Art And Science: An Interdisciplinary Strategy And Its Impact On The Affective Domain Of Community College Human Anatomy Students, Kevin Petti Phd Aug 2006

Connecting Art And Science: An Interdisciplinary Strategy And Its Impact On The Affective Domain Of Community College Human Anatomy Students, Kevin Petti Phd

Dissertations

Educational objectives are often described within the framework of a three-domain taxonomy: cognitive, affective and psychomotor. While most of the research on educational objectives has focused on the cognitive domain, the research that has been conducted on the affective domain, which speaks to emotions, attitudes, and values, has identified a number of positive outcomes. One approach to enhancing the affective domain is that of interdisciplinary education. Science education research in the realm of interdisciplinary education and affective outcomes is limited; especially research conducted on community college students of human anatomy. This project investigated the relationship between an interdisciplinary teaching strategy …

Investigating Professional Development In Technology For Literacy Teachers, Michanne Hoctor Edd Aug 2006

Investigating Professional Development In Technology For Literacy Teachers, Michanne Hoctor Edd

Dissertations

Citrus Heights (a pseudonym) School District is an award-winning exemplar of technology integration. This small urban district has focused its resources on the re-design of its K-8 classrooms and curriculum to support educational reform through the use of technology, including hardware, software, and teacher professional development. Current best practices suggest that while staff development may begin with conventional in-service training, it should move quickly beyond to efforts that support teachers’ development as professionals involved in decision-making, inquiry, and leadership in their classroom teaching. In order to develop as professionals, teachers specifically need help and support in integrating new knowledge and …

The Role Of News Leaks In Governance And The Law Of Journalists' Confidentiality, 1795-2005, Richard B. Kielbowicz Aug 2006

The Role Of News Leaks In Governance And The Law Of Journalists' Confidentiality, 1795-2005, Richard B. Kielbowicz

San Diego Law Review

When the Supreme Court first grappled with prior restraints and the rights of reporters to attend criminal trials, it looked to history and the societal functions of the media in establishing presumptions that favored the press. This Article follows a similar path. Part II sketches the role of leaks in governance between the adoption of the Constitution and World War II to underscore the integral role leaks have played in the nation's political communication. Part III shows that the general law of journalists' confidentiality before and after Branzburg developed with little regard for the distinct institutional contributions of leaks. Part …

Dignity And Conflicts Of Constitutional Values: The Case Of Free Speech And Equal Protection, R. George Wright Aug 2006

Dignity And Conflicts Of Constitutional Values: The Case Of Free Speech And Equal Protection, R. George Wright

San Diego Law Review

This Article posits a conception of dignity, as expressed through the philosophy of Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), as a useful concept to apply to situations when values from the United States constitution conflict. The concept of dignity is proposed specifically to break stalemates between values of free speech and equal protection. As an example the article reviews the issues raised by various forms of hate speech and the flying of confederate flags at public schools. The Kantian take on the concept of dignity employs condemnation of certain behaviors, such as mocking another person. Thereby as an example, if the behavior in …

Water, Water Everywhere, And Not A Bite To Eat: Sovereign Immunity, Federal Disaster Relief, And Hurricane Katrina, Nathan Smith Aug 2006

Water, Water Everywhere, And Not A Bite To Eat: Sovereign Immunity, Federal Disaster Relief, And Hurricane Katrina, Nathan Smith

San Diego Law Review

This Comment contends that judicial review should be available to Katrina victims whose injuries arose from failure to receive emergency food supplies. Reviewing the liability landscape in its entirety would require investigation of laws, regulations, and plans on the federal state, and municipal levels. Instead, this Comment focuses specifically on claims that New Orleans residents might pursue against the federal government for its failure to provide adequate food.

Nurse Practitioner Adoption Of Clinical Innovations, Rhoberta Jones Haley Phd Jul 2006

Nurse Practitioner Adoption Of Clinical Innovations, Rhoberta Jones Haley Phd

Dissertations

Adoption of clinical innovations by Nurse Practitioners (NP) is a complex phenomenon, rooted in personal values and influenced by challenges within health care environments. When clinical innovations are adopted or rejected by NPs, this decision has meaning for patients, NPs, health care agencies, and society. The decision controls the opportunity for patients to access a clinical innovation that could reduce morbidity and mortality, save money, and provide satisfaction related to the health care encounter. The purpose of the study was to increase knowledge about NP adoption of clinical innovations, particularly emotionally-laden clinical innovations. The lines of inquiry focused on what …

The Dilemma Of Disclosure For College Students With Attention Deficit Disorder, Teresa L. Spoulos Edd May 2006

The Dilemma Of Disclosure For College Students With Attention Deficit Disorder, Teresa L. Spoulos Edd

Dissertations

Many college campuses are striving to recruit and retain a diverse student population, and one population making its presence known are students with disabilities. As a result of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, students with disabilities are ensured equal access to education through the removal of architectural barriers and the provision of reasonable accommodations. Despite the existence of these laws, however, many students with attention deficit disorder (ADD) choose not to request classroom accommodations from professors. Students choose not to disclose out of fear of having inaccurate labels placed on them, being …

Resilience And Quality Of Life In Taiwanese Survivors Of Childhood Cancer, Li-Na Chou Phd, Msn, Rn May 2006

Resilience And Quality Of Life In Taiwanese Survivors Of Childhood Cancer, Li-Na Chou Phd, Msn, Rn

Dissertations

Survivors of childhood cancer are at risk to develop physiologic-psychosocial complications that affect their quality of life. This study explored how the independent variables of illness-related risk (ILLRK), individual risks (IRK), protective factors (PF) and resilience (RS) affected the dependent variable---quality of life (QOL)--in Taiwanese survivors of childhood cancer. Triangulated research methodology was employed to (1) identify the statistical relationships between the variables and (2) explore qualitatively what these variables meant to the subjects and how their perceptions further explained the statistical results. Haase's (2004) Adolescent Resilience Model was used as the theoretical framework. Ninety-eight Taiwanese adolescent cancer survivors, diagnosed …

The Copyright Moment, Lior Zemer May 2006

The Copyright Moment, Lior Zemer

San Diego Law Review

This Article focuses on the social nature of copyright law, specifically the moment that a copyright is formed. The process of coming to the idea that is eventually copyrighted is a collaborative process, simply because that how ideas are formed. The formation of ideas is collaborative since any one author of an idea will form that idea either by the innate ideas that the author possesses, which Zemer discounts as unusual, or by pairing those innate ideas that the author of the new idea already possesses with new ideas presented by the intellectual environment around the author. Authors of works …

In Summary It Makes Sense: A Proposal To Substantially Expand The Role Of Summary Judgment In Nonjury Cases, Jack Achiezer Guggenheim May 2006

In Summary It Makes Sense: A Proposal To Substantially Expand The Role Of Summary Judgment In Nonjury Cases, Jack Achiezer Guggenheim

San Diego Law Review

This Article seeks to allow judges to resolve factual disputes where the record is complete more often than judges currently do. The article proposes to distinguish between bench trial cases and jury trial cases. The argument is that in bench trial cases the judge is already going to be adjudicating both the legal and the factual aspects of the case, and if the record is complete, the judge should have the option of exercising summary judgment at an earlier time in the trial. The article notes that summary judgment cannot be used when the credibility of testimony is suspect but …

The Effects Of Participating In Youth Theater, Mark Plato Arapostathis Edd May 2006

The Effects Of Participating In Youth Theater, Mark Plato Arapostathis Edd

Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of student participation in youth theater on the students. Research suggests that theater arts have aided in building student cognition and contributed to the development of literacy. Davenport (1999) concluded that the experience and knowledge that one gains from theater arts form the basic building blocks for the skills needed to learn and to become literate. He added that creative expression is the actual production of a work of art, and this direct, personal involvement provides the experience base upon which cognitive development occurs. This cognitive development has practical application …

Towards A Development-Oriented Multilateral Framework On Competition Policy, Jae Sung Lee May 2006

Towards A Development-Oriented Multilateral Framework On Competition Policy, Jae Sung Lee

San Diego International Law Journal

The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) is a successful attempt by the international community to codify and unify the law of the sea. After long negotiations, the LOSC opened for signature at the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III) in 1982. Together with its two formal associations, the Part XI Implementation Agreement 1994 and the Straddling and Migratory Fish Stocks Agreement 1995, it is regarded as one of the most comprehensive documents ever adopted by the international community. The LOSC not only succeeded in addressing all topics covered …

The Clear And Present Danger Test In Anglo-American And European Law, David G. Barnum

San Diego International Law Journal

This Article will examine the role that the danger test has played in the decisions of American courts and, more recently, in the decisions of British courts and the enforcement organs of the European Convention. Part I will briefly trace the immediate Anglo-American constitutional background from which the danger test emerged. It particular, it will examine the way in which the common law offense of seditious libel was defined by British judges and judicial commentators in the late nineteenth century. Part II will focus on the evolution in American law of judicial attempts to articulate both a "content-based" and an …

Brief Of The University Of Toronto International Human Rights Clinic As Amicus Curiae To The Special Court For Sierra Leone, Noah B. Novogrodsky

San Diego International Law Journal

This brief addresses three questions: 1) the illegality of recruiting child soldiers into armed conflict; 2) the application of penal sanctions in international humanitarian law; and 3) the proper application of the principle of nullum crimen sine lege. Part I of our argument will establish that the recruitment of children into armed conflict is and was unquestionably a violation of international humanitarian law at the time the alleged offences took place. Part II will explain when international law permits prosecution of violations of international humanitarian law irrespective of whether penal sanctions are attached. Amici conclude that such prosecutions are permitted …

The Obligation To Use Force To Stop Acts Of Genocide: An Overview Of Legal Precedents, Customary Norms, And State Responsibility, Joshua M. Kagan May 2006

The Obligation To Use Force To Stop Acts Of Genocide: An Overview Of Legal Precedents, Customary Norms, And State Responsibility, Joshua M. Kagan

San Diego International Law Journal

Though the Genocide Convention was created to "liberate mankind from [the] odious scourge" of genocide, the dreams of its drafters have still not come to fruition. The commission of genocide, widely considered the most appalling of all crimes, did not end with the signing and ratification of the Convention in 1948. Genocide continues in the world today. While its sentiments were noble and its aims commendable, the Genocide Convention as it is interpreted and applied today is insufficient to stop the commission of genocide in the world. In order to rid the world of this crime, a new interpretation of …
