Theses

The project consisted of planning and organizing a seminar for dissemination of information to persons working with the aged. From my ten years of experience in the health care profession, six of them were working with the aged population . I was surprised at my lack of knowledge about the older person.

A Descriptive Study Of Participation In A Parent-Child Contracted Reading Program, Jeanie Mccutchan

Theses

An investigation was conducted to determine if scholastic achievement and grade level would affect participation in a parent-child reading contract program. Subjects were 108 students in grades 1-6 who were systematically sampled from 1,095 students who signed contracts to participate in the Wentzville Spring Into Reading Program.

A chi square was used to determine if there was a significant difference between high reading achievers and low reading achievers both for primary and intermediate grade levels and at all grade levels. This was done to evaluate whether reading achievement would affect participation in the reading program. Nominal data was tabulated showing …

In-Store Marketing Will Sell More Brewers Beer Than Relying On Media Pull Strategy Alone, Ron Muchnick

Theses

The subject discussed in this paper is the value of using in-store marketing techniques to sell more Brewers beer than would be sold by relying solely on additional advertising. This additional advertising would in effect create what is termed media pull in motivating the consumer to buy more Brewers beer. The effectiveness of additional media support was compared to a sales promotion with reseller merchandising and display effort. This comparison was made by conducting two field experiments.

The methodology used was conducting two price promotions on Brewers twelve-packs. Both sample display stores as well as non-displaying control stores were selected …

Theories Of Management: A Manual For Managers, Terrie Hearns Schwerdtfeger

Theses

Terrie Hearns Schwerdtfeger’s thesis, Theories of Management: A Manual for Managers, serves as a practical guide aimed primarily at preparing individuals for roles in middle management, especially within healthcare institutions. The manual is structured around three central areas: managing oneself, managing subordinates, and managing the organization. Schwerdtfeger argues that successful management depends on mastering all three, as they are interrelated and in constant flux due to evolving business and societal demands. Drawing from both classical and contemporary theories, including those of Taylor, Herzberg, Vroom, and Maslow, the work addresses core concepts such as motivation, job enrichment, decision-making, organizational communication, …

Spontaneity In A Jungian Art Therapy Group, Ellen M. Sherwood

The problem of spontaneity in a Jungian art therapy group is addressed in terms of the integration of intuitive/ unconscious processes with the more cognitive aspects of art therapy. An explanation of basic Jungian theory is given, focusing on the process of active imagination, which forms the theoretical framework of the study. Conclusions are based on phenomenological data in conjunction with the writer's cognitive and subjective experiences while running the group.

A Value Concept And Methodology, Patricia C. Soucy

Theses

This study explores the complexities and methodologies of personal property appraisal, with a focus on how “value” is defined, measured, and applied in practice. Using the example of Tea Leaf ironstone china, the paper illustrates the ways in which appraisers must differentiate between various value concepts—such as true value, market value, and replacement value—depending on the intended purpose of the appraisal. Central to this discussion is the recognition that value is not a fixed quality inherent to an object but rather a function of context, grading, and classification systems employed by appraisers.

The work emphasizes the scientific parallels in valuation, …

Personality And Mysticism: An Experimental Design, Deborah Marie Ellison-Rogers

Theses

This research investigates the relationship between personality as measured by the Singer-Loomis Inventory of Personality and the quantity of mystical experiences as measured by the Mysticism Scale. A review of the literature shows that introverts have more awareness of the archetypes and the archetypes often appear in mystical experiences. Awareness of mystical experiences is precisely what the Mysticism Scale measures.

The results were largely insignificant . However, there was a definite skew toward introversion in samples for both the pilot project and the research project . It is felt that this skew is a function of the choice of populations …

This study investigates the effect s of dance- movement therapy for the elderly. Dance-movement sessions were presented to three groups of senior adults: an active …

The Law And The Nurse Anesthetist, Beverly Ann Krause

Theses

Should the surgeon, as "captain of the ship", be liable for the negligent acts of the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist? The Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist is a highly skilled and educated nurse and is far more informed about anesthesia than the surgeon . The surgeons resent this needless liability , and because of this, the use of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists to administer anesthetics might decrease.

To prove that the hypothesis was correct, several methods of research were done . A content analysis showed that the courts are divided on their decisions. There have been many decisions absolving the surgeon …

The Removal Of Low Concentrations Of Heavy Metals From Photographic Processing Effluents Using A Modified Crovex Silver Recovery Metallic Replacement System, John W. Miller Jr

Theses

Parameters have been established for effective removal of low concentrations of silver and cadmium from photographic processing effluents using a CROVEX silver recovery metallic replacement system. Parameters include: total photographic processing effluents (composed primarily of wash effluent, fixer, and developer), residence time, pumping pressures, and maximum heavy metal input. Techniques using these parameters yield silver and cadmium removal approaching 98%.

Correlation Of Development Acceleration By Decyltrimethylammonium Bromide With The Ionization States Of Hydroquinone And Of Chlorohydroquinone, Robert W. Eskes

Theses

The hypothesis is that the effect of acceleration by a quaternary salt is greater on the development rate of the divalent ion than on the rate of development of the monovalent ion of hydroquinone. The gross rate of development of a hydroquinone-sulfite developer was determined with and without a quaternary salt for a range of pH values. Comparison of the acceleration of catechol which is active as a monovalent ion with the acceleration of hydroquinone which is active mainly as a divalent ion was hoped to allow the separation of the hydroquinone gross rate into the contributions by the monovalent …

An Investigation Into The Effects Of Dry Etching Techniques On Changing Halftone Dot-Sizes, Anthony P. Stanton

Theses

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of dry etching techniques on changing halftone dotsizes. Dry etching, or photographic color correction, has emerged in recent years as an alternative to traditional dot etching for making local corrections to color separation halftones. This study examines six factors related to dry etching. First, three types of original halftone dots were considered: laser formed (hard) dots from a Hell DC-300B scanner, laser formed (semi-hard) dots from a P.D.I, scanner, and contact screen (soft) dots from a Crosfield 510 Magnascan scanner. Second, the original dot-sizes being treated were fixed as close …

Visual Softness In Ceramics, Sheldon L. Rexrode

Theses

I feel that the newly shaped greenware form can possess a soft, malleable and pure quality. I would like this quality to be visually retained in the fired state. I hope to utilize slips in a fashion that enhance the form, and use its tactile qualities to convey a sense of the soft, wet clay. When slip is applied to the pot, it may be done by brushing, dipping, pouring, trailing and/or hand application. The application of slip, its color and its effect on the glazes, will also be significant in working toward the appearance of a soft form. Historical …
