Toward A Theory Of Effective Supranational Adjudication, Laurence R. Helfer, Anne-Marie Slaughter

Faculty Scholarship

Supranational adjudication in Europe is a remarkable and surprising success. Europe's two supranational courts -- the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) -- issue dozens of judgments each year with which defending national governments habitually comply in essentially the same manner as they would with domestic court rulings. These experiences stand in striking contrast to those of many international tribunals past and present. Can the European experience of supranational adjudication be transplanted beyond Europe? Professors Helfer and Slaughter argue that the effectiveness of the ECJ and the ECHR is linked to their power …

Creativity In Science: Historical Illustrations And The Academic Paradigm, Laddie J. Bicak

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Koestler identifies creativity in terms of the ability of the individual to make analogies, the ability to recognize relationships between apparently unrelated events. Joseph Lister struggled with the unknown cause of sepsis, gangrene and suppuration in surgical wounds. Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis was immersed in his work to determine the cause of puerperal fever. Of many creative giants in the history of science, Walker places Pasteur among the best for his "astonishing ability for seeing the salient factors of a problem." Boyer relates scholarship and creativity to academics who carry on research, publish, and perhaps relay to their students what they …

The Sphinx Moths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) Of Nebraska, Charlie Messenger

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

A faunal study of the sphinx moths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) of Nebraska is presented. An overview of the family and its two subfamilies is given as well as descriptions of the adults and, when known, the larvae. Each of the 20 genera and 32 species is reviewed. The treatment for each species consists of synonymy, a brief diagnosis, distribution in general, Nebraska locality records, temporal distribution, food host plants, and remarks. The remarks include commentary on how to best distinguish the adults and a brief discussion of biology. A short description of genitalic preparation is included. Distribution maps, showing Nebraska county …

Spontaneous Pressure Diuresis In Conscious Rats, Janet E. Steele, Paul H. Brand, Patricia J. Metting, Steven Loyal Britton

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Pressure diuresis is thought to be a long-term mechanism that is essential for regulation of blood volume and arterial pressure (AP). We recently found that experimentally- induced changes in AP result in changes in urine flow (UF) within 6 seconds in anesthetized rats. To test our hypothesis that the long-term nature of pressure diuresis is the result of the cumulative sum of many short-term changes in UF occurring in response to spontaneous changes in AP, AP (via an aortic catheter) and UF (via a gravimetric method) were measured over 2 hours in 8 conscious, free-moving, chronically …

The most significant developments in 1996 regarding international courts and tribunals are reviewed herein, particularly events relating to the International Court of Justice, the European Court of Justice, and the proposed Permanent International Criminal Court.

Regulating The Use Of Force In The 21st Century: The Continuing Importance Of State Autonomy, Mary Ellen O'Connell

Journal Articles

The most important, and certainly the most ambitious, modification of international law in this century has been the outlawing of the use of force to settle international disputes. The definitive prohibition on the use of force came with the adoption of the United Nations Charter and, in particular, Charter article 2(4).

For a short while, from 1991 until 1994, it appeared that a majority of Security Council members had re-interpreted the Charter's order of priorities. To some, it seemed that the Council had placed such values as human rights, self-determination, and even democracy above the value of peace through respect …

Foucault In Cyberspace: Surveillance, Sovereignty, And Hardwired Censors, James Boyle

Faculty Scholarship

This is an essay about law in cyberspace. I focus on three interdependent phenomena: a set of political and legal assumptions that I call the jurisprudence of digital libertarianism, a separate but related set of beliefs about the state's supposed inability to regulate the Internet, and a preference for technological solutions to hard legal issues on-line. I make the familiar criticism that digital libertarianism is inadequate because of its blindness towards the effects of private power, and the less familiar claim that digital libertarianism is also surprisingly blind to the state's own power in cyberspace. In fact, I argue that …

Reviving Jacob And Youngs, Inc. V. Kent: Material Breach Doctrine Reconsidered, Amy B. Cohen

Faculty Scholarship

Determining whether a material breach has occurred under current law involves a weighing of several factors, a determination that often seems either completely without logic or precision, or self-evident and conclusory. Thus, parties are left not knowing what to do and what risks they may be assuming. The problem with the current application of material breach doctrine is in large part a result of an absence of focus. The courts apply the test without articulating any foundation or context on which it is based. The law in this area could be much improved if courts would return to Judge Cardozo's …

Total Quality Management: Bridging Theory To Practice, Richard Ross Brydges Edd

Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the practice of Total Quality Management (TQM) in an organizational culture using Deming's System of Profound Knowledge (1993) as a construct that combines the philosophical and methodological dimensions of TQM. As with TeleServices Resources (TSR), the evaluative case study subject for this research, organizations worldwide have adopted TQM to establish a culture that would make them more capable of producing quality products and services. Many of these efforts never realized their potential. My premise for this study is that the potential of their efforts are not fully realized, because organizations do not …

Empowering Teachers, Empowering Leadership: A Multisite Case Study Of School Restructuring And Accountability For Student Achievement, Sally Jean Bennett Edd

Dissertations

Accountability is the watchword of the 1990s, particularly in education. In exchange for greater flexibility and autonomy, schools have been asked to assume greater accountability for student outcomes. Implicit in this shift of authority and responsibility is the belief that changing the locus of control will result in changes in student achievement. Decentralizing accountability thus has multiple implications for the teaching and learning process, governance and decision making, and school site leadership. In 1993, San Diego City Schools adopted a student achievement accountability policy and initiated a demonstration program to develop an accountability system model for the district. This ethnographically-oriented …
