There Is A Place Like Home A Personal Journey Through The Bosnian War, Jelena Ljustina Jan 2003

There Is A Place Like Home A Personal Journey Through The Bosnian War, Jelena Ljustina

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

Yugoslavia's first draft was created in 1918 when, in wake of World War I, Southern Slavs united in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. The new nation was founded of remnants of a troubled history: From the mid-15th century to the late 1800s, the Ottoman Turks controlled most of the area. Then followed another thirty years of Austro-Hungarian dominance. It is important to note that the South Slavs descended from the same people who migrated to the Balkan peninsula in the sixth and seventh centuries A.D. and who, under various foreign rulers, converted to one of the three main …


Human Utilization Of Subsurface Extraterrestrial Environments: Final Report, Penelope J. Boston, R. D. Frederick, Val Hildreth-Werker Jan 2003

Human Utilization Of Subsurface Extraterrestrial Environments: Final Report, Penelope J. Boston, R. D. Frederick, Val Hildreth-Werker

KIP Data Sets and Technical Reports

Caves have been used in the ancient past as shelter or habitat by many organisms (including humans). Since antiquity, humans have explored caves for the minerals they contain and sometimes for ceremonial purposes. Over the past century, caves have become the target of increasing exploration, scientific research, and recreation. The use of caves on extraterrestrial bodies for human habitation has been suggested by several investigators. Lunar lava tube bases received early attention because lava tubes were clearly visible in lunar images from the Apollo Era. More recently, Mars Observer Camera data has shown us clear evidence of large tubes visible …


Failing Georgia: The Case Against The Ban On Social Promotion, Donald R. Livingston, Sharon M. Livingston Dec 2002

Failing Georgia: The Case Against The Ban On Social Promotion, Donald R. Livingston, Sharon M. Livingston

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Our analysis begins with an examination of the state of Georgia's rationale for the decision regarding social promotion that was based on the perceived views that teachers have on the issue. Research suggests, however, that teachers hold contradictory opinions concerning the use of standardized tests for high stakes decisions, such as promotion, and are not aware of the consequences most children suffer when they fail a grade. ...

Mentoring Narratives On-Line: Teaching The Principalship, Alison I. Griffith, Svitlana Taraban May 2002

Mentoring Narratives On-Line: Teaching The Principalship, Alison I. Griffith, Svitlana Taraban

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

… This article reports on the new model of principals' training that has been used in York University's Principals' Qualification Program (PQP) from the late 1990s onward. One component of the program brings traditional case methodology into a computer-mediated/on-line environment. The on-line cases are narratives from the everyday lives of the Ontario school administrators who serve as mentors in the on-line environment. ...

Information Technology And The Goals Of Standards-Based Instruction: Advances And Continuing Challenges, Douglas A. Archbald Nov 2001

Information Technology And The Goals Of Standards-Based Instruction: Advances And Continuing Challenges, Douglas A. Archbald

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

This article examines goals of standards-based reform in education and ways in which developments in information technology have facilitated those goals. Since standards-based reform is a rather general concept, I begin by developing a more specific formulation which I refer to as the “standards-based instruction and assessment” model. ...

Derivation Of Effective Hydraulic Parameters Of A Karst Aquifer From Discharge Hydrograph Analysis, S. J. Baedke, N. C. Krothe Jan 2001

Derivation Of Effective Hydraulic Parameters Of A Karst Aquifer From Discharge Hydrograph Analysis, S. J. Baedke, N. C. Krothe

KIP Articles

In well‐developed karst terrains, three or more distinct portions of the karst continuum can be identified from hydrographs of springs issuing from the karst aquifer. Hydrographs from two karst springs within the same drainage basin at the Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indiana, have been analyzed, and ratios of transmissivity and specific yield (T /Sy ) have been established for the conduit and diffuse flow systems. These ratios have been compared with values of T derived from aquifer tests, so that independent values of Sy can be calculated for the diffuse system. Similarly, if the value of Sy is assumed …


The Ukrainian Cossacks, Iryna Shuvit Jan 2001

The Ukrainian Cossacks, Iryna Shuvit

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

Who are those who defended the city gates of Vienna from the Turkish invasion of 1683? Who founded the first democratic state according to Karl Marx? What historical figure in this group honors with his name an airport in Paris? The group was known as the Ukrainian Cossacks - both a controversial and important group in Ukraine and Eastern Europe. And the historical figure is Pylyp Orlyk, the founder of the first Ukrainian Constitution in 1709. Who were the Cossacks? Although their definition ranges from freebooters and Turkish renegades, to unruly brutes and murderers, to Ukrainian freedom fighters, they were …

Anthropological Evolutionary Ecology: A Critique, Suzanne Joseph Jan 2000

Anthropological Evolutionary Ecology: A Critique, Suzanne Joseph

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

The goal of this paper is to critically evaluate Anthropological Evolutionary Ecology (AEE) as a paradigm by utilizing the method for theory framework developed by Pickett et al. (1994). While AEE can contribute in some ways to our understanding of human behavior through methods and techniques derived from neo-Darwinian theory (as well as current approaches in animal behavior and decision theory), AEE as a paradigm remains theoretically ill-equipped for the study of human ecology. This critique will focus on Anthropological Evolutionary Ecology, however, references will be made to Biological Evolutionary Ecology (BEE) since AEE relies heavily on theoretical components derived …


The Conceptual Utility Of Models In Human Ecology, Mitchell A. Pavao-Zuckerman Jan 2000

The Conceptual Utility Of Models In Human Ecology, Mitchell A. Pavao-Zuckerman

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

Anthropology and bioecology are currently at a point in their development where researchers in both fields are working towards an integration, which can be described as a form of human ecology. Integration of such disparate disciplines is not easily achieved. Important steps which facilitate integration are the clear definition of terms relevant to the disciplines, and the development of a common framework which would allow the overlapping of domains of the disciplines. The objective of this paper is to contribute to an understanding of human ecosystems by discussing (1) the definition of human ecosystems, and (2) the use of models …
