Hardiness And Job Fitness For The Intensive Family Preservation Specialist: A Correlational Study, Sandi Fisher
Hardiness And Job Fitness For The Intensive Family Preservation Specialist: A Correlational Study, Sandi Fisher
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
It is costly to train the counselors who serve in intensive Family Preservation Services (IFPS). The hiring agency must pay for traveling expenses in addition to any fee paid for training. When an IFPS worker chooses to terminate employment before the end of two years of employment, this puts a strain on an already tight budget. This problem could be alleviated by finding an efficient pre-hire screening instrument. The three personality traits described in Hardiness Theory literature: commitment, challenge, and control, are traits often used to describe the ideal IFPS worker. This study assessed IFPS workers to determine if the …

Cd40-Mediated Signaling Of Interleukin-1(Beta) Synthesis And Rescue From Apoptosis In Monocytes: Modulation By Il-4 And Il-10, Jonathan C. Poe
Cd40-Mediated Signaling Of Interleukin-1(Beta) Synthesis And Rescue From Apoptosis In Monocytes: Modulation By Il-4 And Il-10, Jonathan C. Poe
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
To date, the cellular mechanisms involved in the progression of diseases characterized by chronic inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), remain largely unknown. However, cell-to-cell contact interactions between CD4+ helper T (Th) cells and monocytes have been implicated in the induction and maintenance of pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesis that is characteristic to the pathogenesis of RA. One such cytokine produced during monocyte-Th cell contact is interleukin (IL)-1 β, a mediator directly involved in the characteristic tissue destruction that occurs in the synovia of individuals with RA. Previous studies in our laboratories have shown that ligation of CD40 on monocytes with CD40 …

African-Led Slave Rebellions In The United States, Jamaica And Haiti, Joseph R. Weinzettle
African-Led Slave Rebellions In The United States, Jamaica And Haiti, Joseph R. Weinzettle
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is a visual and written portrait of some of the important African-led slave rebellions in the New World. Seven lithographs explore the environment of slavery and Africanisms in the New World. Six canvases reconstruct slave resistance from the 1730s to 1831: the Nat Turner Rebellion; the Maroon Wars of Jamaica; and the Haitian maroon revolutionaries--Makandal and Boukman. The common denominator among these rebellions was the presence of traditional West African religious beliefs. This is examined in the text and in the representation of material culture on canvas and in print. The paintings are in the manner of historical …
