Potentiation Of Diabetes By Testosterone In Male Rats, Anne M. Van Abbema
Potentiation Of Diabetes By Testosterone In Male Rats, Anne M. Van Abbema
Honors Theses
This research project was based on the results of a previous experiment. Due to the high rate of impotence found in male diabetic patients, testosterone was given to diabetic male rats, in an effort to reverse the diabetic effects. Testosterone, being an anabolic sex steroid, was expected to increase body weight and hopefully reverse the abnormal sex behavior. The opposite of the expected results were observed in the previous experiment. The animals lost weight, at a rate faster than the diabetic animals not receiving testosterone, and the abnormal sex behavior was not reversed. In other words, the exogenous testosterone appeared …

Educational Opportunities For Aviation Management Students In Aviation Manufacturing, Dominic Sawchuk
Educational Opportunities For Aviation Management Students In Aviation Manufacturing, Dominic Sawchuk
Honors Theses
Despite the variety of courses dealing with various segments of the aviation industry, there is one portion of the industry which the SIU-C curriculum does not address, and yet many of its students focus their employment goals within this specialized area. As the largest segment of the aviation industry, (employing 1.2 million, versus 400,000 employed in commercial aviation for 1980), it is hard to believe that specialized coursework is not provided which deals with the subject of Aviation Manufacturing.

Ernest Miller Hemingway : Dimensions Of Death, Bruce R. Mcdonald
Ernest Miller Hemingway : Dimensions Of Death, Bruce R. Mcdonald
Honors Theses
The life and works of Ernest Miller Hemingway resemble the views of the people of Castile, Spain in many ways. From an early age, Hemingway took an "intelligent interest" in the concept of death. It was an interest that was to grow to encompass almost every aspect of his sixty year life and his literary career. For Hemingway, death was an essential component in his existence as well as a necessary consequence of living in our world. Hemingway's exploration of the notion of death gave meaning and security to his being. For Hemingway, death eventually became an all consuming obsession …

A Contingency Analysis Of The Management Control Systems In Tennessee Hospitals /, Cynthia A. Tiegs
Honors Theses
The purpose of this study is to determine if the presence and perceived effectiveness of management control systems in nursing departments are contingent on the variables identified in the reviewed literature, The contingent variables investigated were the size of the hospital, the number of services offered, and whether it was profit or not-for-profit. The four control mechanisms examined were; control over inventory and capital equipment, and the staffing and monitoring of nursing care hours. Nursing directors were asked to indicate the effectiveness of each of these management control systems
Highway Improvements And Economic Growth: A Study Of Lee Highway Between Airport Road And Shallowford Road, Travis Lee Hayes
Highway Improvements And Economic Growth: A Study Of Lee Highway Between Airport Road And Shallowford Road, Travis Lee Hayes
Honors Theses
When I first selected this topic to research for an honors project, the question I asked was: Does economic growth in an area serve as a catalyst for highway improvement projects, or do highway improvement projects cause economic growth? The segment of Lee Highway between Airport Road and Shallowford Road in Chattanooga has experienced quite a bit of economic growth in recent years, and this stretch of road has been improved by the addition of more traffic lanes. By focusing my research on this particular highway, I felt that I would gain insight into my question. In this paper I …

The role of potassium ions in plant metabolism, especially the process of seed germination, is reviewed. Experiments were designed, the results of which are presented and discussed, to determine (1) the effect of exogenously applied salts of K+ on …
Fundamental American Studies Cocktail Trivia, Joanne Tuffy Kriegel
Fundamental American Studies Cocktail Trivia, Joanne Tuffy Kriegel
Honors Theses
F.A.C.T. is a combination of basic facts and trivia. The basics include the names of presidents, vice-presidents, states, and capitals. The blurbs of information following these basics consist of trivia. F.A.C.T. is also concerned with one's ability to be a successful, well-rounded cocktail party-goer. What this requires is some general knowledge of trivia in the following areas: books, music, sports, and movies. These facts will not improve your G.R.E. scores, but they will be useful both at cocktail parties, and when playing Jeopardy! And, most important of all, they will teach you several, little known facts about America and the …
Positive Distinctiveness And Intergroup Discrimination Between Intercollegiate Athletes And Nonathletes, Jean H. Pace
Positive Distinctiveness And Intergroup Discrimination Between Intercollegiate Athletes And Nonathletes, Jean H. Pace
Honors Theses
Past research has shown that individuals seek to establish a positively valued distinctiveness between their own group (ingroup) and other groups (outgroups) to maintain and enhance their self-esteem (Turner, 1981). The purpose of this study was to explore this issue further using intercollegiate student athletes and nonathletes as subjects. Ten athletes and ten nonathletes each generated lists of personality traits that they believed athletes and nonathletes possess. A different group of athletes and nonathletes (N=68) then rated the social desirability of these traits. The results revealed that each group attempted to differentiate itself positively from the other. Athletes and nonathletes …
Role Satisfaction In Working Mothers : A Comparison Of Occupational Status, Mary G. O'Donnell
Role Satisfaction In Working Mothers : A Comparison Of Occupational Status, Mary G. O'Donnell
Honors Theses
The effects of employment on a working mother's overall role satisfaction was examined as a function of occupational status (professional, middle management, working class). Sixty women of differing employment levels were given a questionnaire of items concerning their experiences as working mothers. Professional women were found to be at an advantage. They possesed significantly higher levels of work orientation and job satisfaction than both middle management and working class women, and higher levels of family satisfaction than working class women. Professional women were also slightly more satisfied with their roles, but this effect was not significant. A stepwise multiple regression …
Prediction Of Reading Pesticide Warnings And Consumer Purchasing Intentions, Kathryn Anne Ponsi
Prediction Of Reading Pesticide Warnings And Consumer Purchasing Intentions, Kathryn Anne Ponsi
Honors Theses
Correlates of reading and noticing warnings on consumer products and of consumers' purchasing intentions were examined using ratings of 26 household pest-control products. Seventy college undergraduates were asked to respond to a 19-item questionnaire assessing subjects' perceptions of each product's packaging, labeling, and warning characteristics. Additional data was collected by coding the products for several packaging and warning characteristics, and product effectiveness. The results showed that the products perceived as more hazardous, potent, likely to cause injury, and difficult to use contained warnings that subjects reported they would more likely notice and read. A different cluster of variables were predictive …

Activation Of Social Heuristics In Social Decision Making Tasks As A Function Of Leadership Role Assignment, Amber B. Keating
Honors Theses
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of assigning leadership roles implying varying degrees of social responsibility along with examining lay peoples' perceptions of these roles. Using 105 subjects, a 3 (leadership role) x 2 (resource type) design was used to examine how leaders make decisions about sharing resources in groups. First, 41 subjects rated the perceived degree of social responsibility for each of the 32 roles. In the next phase, another 64 subjects were assigned one of three leadership roles (supervisor, guide, or leader) and were asked to take that type of leader's deserved amount of …
Family Environments And The Development And Course Of Anorexia Nervosa, Amy E. Hewett
Family Environments And The Development And Course Of Anorexia Nervosa, Amy E. Hewett
Honors Theses
Preoccupation with physical appearance is a hallmark of adolescence, and distorted body images are common among teenage women in developed countries around the world. Obviously alI of these adolescents are not contracting eating disorders, and a distorted body image, although necessary, is not sufficient to induce anorexia. The mitigating factor appears to be family relations and environments. Previous research has noted unusual relationships among family members of anorexic girls. The present study contends that familial factors and environments powerfully direct both the move toward and the recovery from anorexia nervosa. It is hypothesized that high scores on the Family Environment …
Initial Dyadic Peer Interaction Of Adhd And Normal Children, Julie A. Hubbard
Initial Dyadic Peer Interaction Of Adhd And Normal Children, Julie A. Hubbard
Honors Theses
The present study assesses the nature of the behavior of ADHD children in an initial social encounter with a peer. Eight pairs each of previously unacquainted ADHD/normal and normal/normal children were videotaped as they interacted in a free-play setting for 30 minutes. All ADHD subjects were currently receiving psychostimulant medication. As compared to the normal/normal dyads, the ADHD/normal dyads engaged in more solitary play as well as less associative play. The ADHD/normal dyads also had a greater latency to reach rule-governed associative play and engaged in less affective verbalization than the normal/normal dyads. Sequential analyses revealed that the normal/normal dyads, …

The Effects Of Caffeine On Operant Behavior In The Mongolian Gerbil, Stephanie L. Myers
Honors Theses
The present study looks at the effects of stomach loads of caffeine on operant behavior in Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). Four male and four female gerbils were trained to a fixed interval schedule of 30 seconds with Noyes 4.5 mg rodent pellets used for reinforcement. A data collection and analysis package for Apple computers was used to measure the post-reinforcement response frequencies and number of reinforcements. Data was collected using a baseline of saline stomach loads of 1% of body weight, and then stomach loads of ascending concentrations caffeine mixed with saline (10, 20, 40, 60 mg/kg) with two to …
Use Of Solid-Phase Resins In Pesticide Monitoring, Jenny Bittinger
Use Of Solid-Phase Resins In Pesticide Monitoring, Jenny Bittinger
Honors Theses
The feasibility of using solid-phase resins for monitoring concentrations of pesticides in water was examined. Efforts were made to ascertain relationships between concentrations of a pesticide (methoxychlor) in water and on a resin (AXD-2) under laboratory conditions. Solutions of pesticide in water were drawn through columns of resin. Methylene Chloride was used to absorb the pesticide from the resin. Gas chromatography and ultraviolet spectrophotometry were used to measure concentrations of pesticide.
The Correlation Between The Motive To Achieve And The Motive To Affiliate In College Women, Lisa Salladin
The Correlation Between The Motive To Achieve And The Motive To Affiliate In College Women, Lisa Salladin
Honors Theses
The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between the motives to achieve and to affiliate in college senior women and to compare that correlation earlier findings that consistently produced a significant negative relationship. It has been suggested in the 1970's that for women achievement and affiliation were be_coming less adversarial and approaching a more balanced coexistence. These motivations were measured by the frequently utilized Edward's Personal Preference Schedule in an effort to help strengthen the comparability of the present results with those previous findings. Interviews were conducted in an effort to shed light on whether these women …

Effects Of Disability Status Of Test Administrator On Attitudes Towards Disabled Person Scores, Paul T. Hanson
Effects Of Disability Status Of Test Administrator On Attitudes Towards Disabled Person Scores, Paul T. Hanson
Honors Theses
The effect of test administrator disability status was examined in relation to a standardized scale which measures attitudes towards disabled persons. Conducting the study on two different dates with a total of 88 subjects it was found that filling out the attitude scale in a group with either: a visually impaired; Quadriplegic using a wheelchair; or able-bodied administrator did not result in a significant difference in recorded attitudes. There was, however, an interesting finding in that there was a wide variance of scores within each group. This encourages further data analysis.

A Considertation Of Cost-Benefit Analysis In The Context Of Public Policy Decision-Making, Kathleen M. Wong
A Considertation Of Cost-Benefit Analysis In The Context Of Public Policy Decision-Making, Kathleen M. Wong
Honors Theses
Just what is to be understood by the term "cost-benefit analysis" ("benefit-cost analysis")? The question itself arises from a curiosity into how government decisions (which affect all) are made. This paper gives an elementary discussion of constitutive parts, raising and responding to some initial criticisms. It seems fairly evident, unneedful of additional explanation or elaboration. The individual on the street would simply declare that it sounded like some rather ordinary decision-making process which involved the consideration of the costs and benefits incurred by the paths of action that might be selected. "Ordinary" means accessible to anyone and not the exclusive …
