Mainline And Peripheral Agriculture: Toward Generic Classification Of Farms, Carlton R. Sollie, Wolfgang Frese

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

An examination of the state of the art in the classification of farms indicates a need for more work. Classification of farms by size has been widely used and found serviceable. In a capitalistic social system, such as the United States, the most appropriate measure of the relative contributions of farms of different sizes appears to be the market value of products they sell. Accordingly, a preliminary generic typology of U.S. farms, based on published data, is proposed in which Mainline, Marginal, and Peripheral types are identified.

Economic Dualism In American Agriculture, Gary P. Green, William D. Heffernan

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Renewed interest in agriculture by sociologists has led to an emphasis on structural analyses of rural America. Drawing upon the dual economy model, this paper proposes an alternative concept of the changing structure of agriculture in the United States. Two industrial sectors--the core and the periphery--are defined, and their relevance to agriculture is explored. Following Averitt, agriculture is an industry which historically has had a periphery-type orientation but is now undergoing encroachment from the core economy and partially from domination by the federal government. The research implications of the dual economy model for rural sociology are discussed.

Incidence, Magnitude, And Determinants Of Off-Farm Income In Tennessee And The South, Surendra P. Singh

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The major objectives of this study are to identify the incidence and magnitude of of f-farm income in Tennessee and the South and to determine factors affecting off-farm income of a select group of farm families. Regression models were estimated using cross-sectional data collected from 193 randomly selected farm families in two Tennessee counties. Two models were estimated: the first, for the farm operator's off-farm income; and the second, for the total off-farm income of the family. The study revealed various socioeconomic factors affecting total off-farm family income and operator's off-farm income. Elasticities were also determined for each of the …

Factors Contributing To Reported Home Energy Conservation Behavior, Lionel J. Beaulieu, Michael K. Miller

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This study extends and refines previous works by considering the relative influence that key attributes have on two types of conservation initiatives: repetitive activities requiring minimal time or cost and nonrepetitive conservation practices that entail sizable financial outlays. Data collected in a 1979 statewide survey in Florida demonstrate that while several socio-demographic variables are significant predictors of reported conservation behavior, personal perception and definition of economic circumstance is the single most important predictor.

Farm Operation Characteristics, Institutional Support, And The Use Of Soil And Water Conservation Technologies, Peter F. Korsching

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Technologies to control the severity of soil erosion and water pollution are available, and a large institutional structure supports soil conservation work, but success has been rather limited. This study of a sample of farmers in the three watersheds in central Iowa tests a number of hypotheses about the use of conservation technology. Institutional support factors were found to have a stronger relationship to the use of conservation practices than farm operation characteristics. The erosion potential of the land was conditional for specific conservation practice utilization. The use of institutional resources was positively related to farm size and scale. Thus …

Teenage Vandalism In Georgia, Douglas C. Bachtel

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Data gathered from a selected nonmetropolitan and a metropolitan county in Georgia suggest that most junior and senior high school students had engaged in at least one act of vandalism in the previous 12 months. Vandalism most often occurred among groups of four or more people, on weekends, and outside one's own neighborhood. Reduction of teenage vandalism involves consideration of peer group influence, leisure activities, and deterrence measures.

Central Bank Of Nigeria Annual Report And Statement Of Accounts For The Year Ended 31st December 1984, Central Bank Of Nigeria

CBN Annual Report

CBN annual report and statement of accounts for 1984 covers economic performance including key economic indicators such as inflation rate, GDP growth, exchange rate stability, banking sector performance, monetary policy, financial stability, fiscal policy, and regulatory updates for 1984. It also examines future economic outlook. In 1984, the index of industrial production fell by 10.2 per cent significantly due to the poor performance of the manufacturing sector whose index of production fell by 18.2 per cent. In respect of domestic prices, the supply-side factors were dominant in exerting upward pressures on prices. There were acute shortages in consumer goods and …

An Investigation Of The "Cume Assessment," An Instrument Designed To Measure Third Grade Children's Understanding Of Selected Cross-Cultural/Multicultural Concepts, Doni Kwolek Kobus

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate an instrument, the Cross-cultural Understandings in Multicultural Education (CUME) Assessment, which was devised to measure third grade students' understandings of selected crosscultural/ multicultural concepts. These concepts were derived from a cultural anthropological perspective of human similarities and differences.

Procedures. The study examined the reliability and validity of the CUME Assessment, a multiple-choice, domain referenced test consisting of twenty-one items based on seven instructional objectives. Third grade students, whose teachers indicated on a Teacher Questionnaire having taught these objectives as a part of the formal curriculum, were assessed. Three instruments were administered …

Bull Market For Predictions, Keith C. Epstein

1976–1985: William B. Spong, Jr.

Brokers scan stock projections. Corporations live for the next quarter. Families plan budgets so they can afford a summer vacation.

Multinationals seek modern soothsayers to help decide whether to sell smaller roasting pans. Hi-tech firms hire specialists to predict whether tomorrow's workers will demand in-office day care.

For many so much as a glimpse of what the future holds, government at all levels spends millions.

Call it a human condition, this hankering after the future.

"You've really got a great gimmick," an envious Virginia Commonwealth University colleague once quipped to futurologist Howard Ozmon. "Everything has a future, so I guess …

X-Ray Microanalysis In Cryosections Of Natively Frozen Paramecium Caudatum With Regard To Ion Distribution In Ciliates, M. Schmitz, R. Meyer, K. Zierold

Scanning Electron Microscopy

Cells of Paramecium caudatum were shock-frozen without pretreatment for cryoultramicrotomy and freeze-dried for subsequent X-ray microanalysis. Na, Mg, P, S, Cl, K, and Ca were detected in different amounts in several subcellular compartments. In particular, calcium was localized below the cell surface (pellicle). Trichocysts were found to contain significant amounts of Na in their base but not in the tip. Na, Mg, P, S, Cl, K, Ca were found in electron dense deposits within the lumen of the contractile vacuole. A small K concentration was found in the cytoplasm and in the mitochondria. X-ray microanalysis of the element distribution in …

Low Toxicity Radiation Sensitizer, Barton L. Bergquist, James C. Chang

Patents (University of Northern Iowa)

Bis(5-aminofluorescein)dichloroplatinum(II), and substituted fluoresceinamine derivatives of this compound are disclosed as highly effective radiation sensitizers which enhance the effect of ionizing radiation on tumor cells, but uniquely do so without the usual accompanying high toxicity level to surrounding normal cells. A direct combination, single step reaction synthesis is disclosed for preparing bis(5-aminofluorescein)dichloroplatinum(II) from the reaction between an alkali metal tetrachloroplatinate(II) and 5-aminofluorescein.
