Censorship And Control Of The University Student Newspaper :17 Case Studies, Elizabeth A. Minden
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
More than 330 colleges and universities throughout the United States offer degrees or programs in journalism. All of these colleges and universities have student newspapers. The student newspaper is one of the most common vehicles for college-educated journalists to receive their initial news-editorial experiences. The roles student newspaper advisers, college administrators, journalism departments, college student governments and college publications boards play in college newspaper management are important because most professional American newspapers prefer to employ college-educated journalists for their news-editorial staffs. According to Melvin Mencher, professor of journalism at Columbia University, to make the student newspaper a bona fide educational …

Role-Taking And Power In Health Care, Dana Charles De Witt
Role-Taking And Power In Health Care, Dana Charles De Witt
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study focuses on differential role-taking ability between physicians and nurses. Many sociologists note, subordinates are in positions of lower structural power than superordinates and therefore must employ other means of control. These other strategies of control come from a person’s own interpersonal skills. This source of power is referred to as personal influence and is considered by Franks, Thomas et. al. Wrong, to be more situated in nature than structural power which is viewed as having a more enduring quality. Most persons, regardless of the power of the position they hold.in a given social context, must interact and role-take …

Hopelessness In The Institutionalized Elderly, Joanne Hansen
Hopelessness In The Institutionalized Elderly, Joanne Hansen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The losses and stresses of the elderly make them susceptible to powerlessness which ultimately may lead to hopelessness and death. The use of client initiated interventions designed to increase the individual's control of the environment may interrupt the powerlessness, hopelessness and death cycle. The research question for this study addressed the influence of client-initiated interventions on the hopelessness score among the institutionalized elderly.
The specific research questions were:
I. To what extent do the use of client-initiated interventions affect the level of hopelessness in the institutionalized client on a short- and long-term basis?

The Application Of A Falls Risk Index, Marcelline R. Harris
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study examined the prospective use of a falls risk index. The research question was: To what extent do the intrinsic factors identified in the Tinetti et al. falls risk index predict which patients are likely to experience a fall. Hogue's ecological model of falls in late life provided a conceptual framework for the study.
Direct observation was used to collect baseline data from a convenience/purposive sample of 26 male patients in a midwest nursing home care unit with a rehabilitation focus. Patients were then assigned to one of three risk groups: yes-fall, 30% chance of fall, no-fall. Reports of …

Common Work Space Of Two Robot Arms, Byung Oh Choi
Common Work Space Of Two Robot Arms, Byung Oh Choi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The choice of kinematic and dynamic parameters for a robot arm depends on the desired working space, desired load lifting capacity, and desired performance of the robot. The inverse process, which is the determination of a single robot's work space from given specifications, is also possible, and is very important both to the designers and to the users. Proceeding further, the analysis of the common work space of two robot arms expands our understanding of spatial limitations of the communicating, cooperative robots of the future. This thesis presents a new possible application of industrial robots in which two robots work …

Love In Major Novels Of Carson Mccullers, Lynn Margaret Butterbrodt
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Mrs. McCullers was not a prolific writer; this was largely due to the fact that she was hindered throughout much of her life by serious illnesses. When she was fifteen, doctors misdiagnosed rheumatic fever as "pneumonia with complications.” Her heart was severely damaged by this illness; consequently, she suffered strokes which resulted in blindness in one eye, complete paralysis of her left side, and complications therefrom. Her final stroke in 1967 left her comatose for forty-seven days until her death on September 29, 1967, at age fifty. Her doctors believed that had her early illness been correctly diagnosed, her lifestyle …

Sociocultural Factors Associated With Grassland Plowout In South Dakota Counties, Peter Froelich
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The conversion of grassland into cropland is a cultural activity. As such, it can be expected to be influenced by other aspects of the larger cultural system. Because grasslands that have been plowed into cropland become subject to increased erosion risk, knowledge about other factors in the cultural system that are associated with these conversions. may be useful to those interested in monitoring or influencing them. While some research has been directed toward the adopt Ion of Environmental Innovations, there is a general lack of research concerning the conditions associated with the need for conservation activities. The above information suggests …
