A Study Of The Best Spanish Training Practices For Police Officers, Nicole Marie Otero May 2007

A Study Of The Best Spanish Training Practices For Police Officers, Nicole Marie Otero

Master's Theses

Within the last ten years, the Hispanic population in the United States has grown immensely. This presents a communication problem between the Hispanic communities and the police departments who protect and serve them. This also creates a serious liability issue for police departments. Currently, law enforcement is struggling to adequately train police officers how to speak Spanish. This research examines ways for Chesterfield and Henrico County Police Departments to develop the Spanish-speaking skills of their current police officers. This research further provides details of possible costs to provide adequate Spanish-speaking training to the police officers in both counties. The data …


Stressors On The Detectives Of The Prince William County Police Department, William P. Mackay May 2007

Stressors On The Detectives Of The Prince William County Police Department, William P. Mackay

Master's Theses

Law enforcement is a highly stressful occupation, with law enforcement officials facing critical incidents such as violent crime scenes and potential loss of life. These incidents, however, are not a daily occurrence. The most common daily stressors associated with law enforcement originate from the law enforcement organization itself, the daily interactions with coworkers, the usage or misusage of the assigned equipment, and the individual's perception of the work environment. This study collected survey data to analyze the prevalence and effects of the daily stressors perceived by the detectives of the Prince William County Police Department. This study identified three areas …


Preparation Of Embolic Protection Devices For Embolic Characterization, Arundhati Deshpande Jan 2007

Preparation Of Embolic Protection Devices For Embolic Characterization, Arundhati Deshpande

Master's Theses

Techniques to prepare embolic protection filters for micro computed tomography (micro CT) and subsequent histopathology, and which can eventually be used to bring about tissue characterization in terms of Hounsfield Units (HU), were compared. The techniques evaluated in this study included embedding a specimen each in (a) a paraffin cassette, (b) a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) block, (c) paraffin followed by sectioning and mounting on glass slides, and d) PMMA followed by sectioning into 800 mum wafers. Micro CT was performed on these specimens. The images were used to reconstruct and detect the HU of the tissue. Embedding the specimen in …

From The Pixels Up : Processes And Procedures In The Construction Of A Neural-Site Geographic Information System, Christopher John Mason Jan 2006

From The Pixels Up : Processes And Procedures In The Construction Of A Neural-Site Geographic Information System, Christopher John Mason

Master's Theses

This study examines the question, is it possible to develop a neutral-site Geographic Information System (GIS) that addresses information needs useful for the training of emergency management personnel? To answer this question a subordinate question requiring an answer is what specific steps are required to accomplish this goal? As a base for the data provided here, the history of cities as an initial root of civilization and the concept of emergency management are discussed. Direct intersections, where the specific applications of emergency management technology provide real benefits to local governmental organizations, such as those at the city level are also …


The Marketing Of Mussolini : American Magazines And Mussolini, 1922-1935, Anthony F. Ambrogi Jan 2006

The Marketing Of Mussolini : American Magazines And Mussolini, 1922-1935, Anthony F. Ambrogi

Master's Theses

Until the Halo-Ethiopian War, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and the American press had a symbiotic relationship. Mussolini used his charisma and journalistic skills to put himself in the limelight of the American foreign press, and whether they loved him or hated him, American periodicals relished the constant flow of news and sensationalism from Rome. This analysis examines the rise of Fascism and Mussolini in Italy and his efforts to market himself to the press, especially the American press. It then reviews American magazines from 1922 until Italy's invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 and their varying attitudes toward II Duce. Popular …
