The Effects Of Human-Caused Disturbances On Water Quality And The Capability Of River Ecosystems To Recover From Disturbances: Using Benthic Macroinvertebrates As Indicators Of Water Quality, September 2000, M. P. Miller Sep 2000

The Effects Of Human-Caused Disturbances On Water Quality And The Capability Of River Ecosystems To Recover From Disturbances: Using Benthic Macroinvertebrates As Indicators Of Water Quality, September 2000, M. P. Miller

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Degraded watersheds are considered a source of pollution input in rivers. The effects of human-caused disturbances and the abilities of rivers to recover from disturbances were analyzed in three rivers in the around the area of Monteverde, Costa Rica. This was done using benthic macroinvertebrate pollution tolerance levels (FBI), turbidity levels, and macroinvertebrate diversity. Diversity was found to be lowest in the disturbed sites of all three rivers (Modified T-test: 0.002 < p < 0.001). A pattern of maximum FBI values and turbidity levels at disturbance sites was also found to exist; and Escherichia coli were present at all sample sites in all rivers. The data from all rivers was combined for each site and regression analyses were performed. This data suggests that human-caused disturbances will result in decreased species diversity, increased FBI-values, and increased turbidity levels. The results also indicate that rivers have the ability to recover from small-scale human disturbances. The findings of this study support the idea that in order to maintain the diversity of both aquatic and terrestrial organisms as well as clean water for human use, humans need to take into account the effects of their actions on river systems.

The Social Construction Of School Failure: Leadership's Limitations, Merylann J. Schuttloffel Aug 2000

The Social Construction Of School Failure: Leadership's Limitations, Merylann J. Schuttloffel

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

A case study highlights barriers encountered by an urban school principal in implementing reforms within the context of the Kentucky Educational Reform Act. By comparing the competing expectations of Miller's (1995) five capitals and Ianneconne and Lutz's (1970) dissatisfaction theory, the case study dramatizes that Site-Based Decision-Making councils exemplify a policy decision that ignores the practical realities of distressed schools. The lack of congruence between policies and the school reality makes implementation of school reform predictably unsuccessful.

The Myth Of The Texas Miracle In Education, Walt Haney Aug 2000

The Myth Of The Texas Miracle In Education, Walt Haney

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

I summarize the recent history of education reform and statewide testing in Texas, which led to introduction of the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) in 1990-91. A variety of evidence in the late 1990s led a number of observers to conclude that the state of Texas had made near miraculous progress in reducing dropouts and increasing achievement. The passing scores on TAAS tests were arbitrary and discriminatory. Analyses comparing TAAS reading, writing and math scores with one another and with relevant high school grades raise doubts about the reliability and validity of TAAS scores. ...

Taxing The Establishment Clause: The Revolutionary Decision Of The Arizona Supreme Court In Kotterman V. Killian, Kevin G. Welner Jul 2000

Taxing The Establishment Clause: The Revolutionary Decision Of The Arizona Supreme Court In Kotterman V. Killian, Kevin G. Welner

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

This article explores the nature and implications of a 1999 decision of the Arizona Supreme Court, upholding the constitutionality of a state tax credit statute. The statute offers a $500 tax credit to taxpayers who donate money to non-profit organizations which, in turn, donate the money in grants to students in order to help defray the costs of attending private and parochial schools. The author concludes that the Arizona decision elevates cleverness in devising a statutory scheme above the substance of long-established constitutional doctrine.
