Body Image As A Function Of Colorism: Testing A Theoretical Model, Alicia V. Hall Jan 2003

Body Image As A Function Of Colorism: Testing A Theoretical Model, Alicia V. Hall

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

A Covariate Structure Model was used to examine a possible relationship between colorism as a component of body image and global psychological functioning in the hypothesized model. Two hundred-fifty-five African-American women were recruited from undergraduate psychology and social work classes to participate in the current study from state and community colleges in the southeastern United States, and from social groups and church organizations. The results indicated that the hypothesized model was not a good fit to the data; therefore, the model was re-evaluated. The results of the analysis of the revised model indicated that the revised model was not plausible. …

Florida Community College Collection Assessment Report, Anna H. Perrault, Richard Madaus, Ann Armbrister, Jeannie Dixon, Heather Thuotte-Pierson

School of Information Faculty Publications

In 2002 a study was conducted of community college collections in Florida as a follow-up and an additional interval to a similar study conducted in 1998. The analysis in 2002 compared the profile of the LINCC database, three peer groups of community colleges by enrollment size, and each of the twenty-eight community colleges with the 1998 study results. Among the significant findings are: The median age of LINCC collective holdings improved between 1998 and 2002, declining from 24 years to 22 years. The “year reached 50%” for the LINCC database in 2002 was 1980, meaning that half of the monographs …

We also asked workers to fill out a questionnaire asking about their perceptions of work training, risks and possible solutions to workplace hazards. Along with the questionnaires, we did sixteen informal interviews asking workers how they …

The Genesis And Hydrogeology Of A Sandstone Karst In Pine County, Minnesota, Beverly Lynn Shade Jul 2002

The Genesis And Hydrogeology Of A Sandstone Karst In Pine County, Minnesota, Beverly Lynn Shade

KIP Theses and Dissertations

The landscape of central Pine County, in east-central Minnesota, contains a series of sinkholes, streamsinks, springs and short caves. These landforms occur in and over Precambrian Hinckley Sandstone, and the overlying unconsolidated glacial deposits. These features serve the same function as in carbonate karst terrains: sinkholes and caves focus recharge, feeding a heterogeneous subterranean flow system. This drainage system exploits high permeability zones in the sandstone, and discharges into springs. In north-central Pine County, 262 sinkholes, 25 streamsinks and 32 springs have been mapped.
