The Third Way: A Study Of Economic Justice In The Writings Of Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul Ii)., Woodard King Mott Jr Jan 1997

The Third Way: A Study Of Economic Justice In The Writings Of Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul Ii)., Woodard King Mott Jr

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Pope John Paul II, born Karol Wojtyla, has written extensively about the human person and how that person acts in the world. Beginning with Wojtyla's doctoral dissertation presented at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas on the Catholic mystic St. John of the Cross and continuing through the most recent best seller, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, Christian personalism has pervaded Wojtyla's writings, encyclicals, and public utterances. Wojtyla's perspective on economic justice, as shaped by his Christian personalism, is the subject of this dissertation. A systematic investigation of Wojtyla's theory of economic justice reveals a third way of economic …

Development And Validation Of A Multidimensional Measure Of Eating Behavior And Exercise., Cheryl Funsch Smith Jan 1997

Development And Validation Of A Multidimensional Measure Of Eating Behavior And Exercise., Cheryl Funsch Smith

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The specific aim of the current investigation was to develop and validate a multidimensional self-report inventory of a wide range of eating behaviors and weight control practices including overeating, emotional eating, and exercise to be used with overweight and obese populations for evaluation and treatment purposes. Based on recent research findings concerning dieting strategies, factors evaluating healthy versus unhealthy weight control practices were expected to emerge from factor analysis of the original item pool of 131 items. However, these specific factors were not found. Instead, the factor analytic study found the Multidimensional Measure of Eating Behavior and Exercise (MMEBE) to …

The Uptake And Distribution Of Diethyltoluenediamine In The Male Sprague Dawley Rat., Michael Charles Babin Jan 1997

The Uptake And Distribution Of Diethyltoluenediamine In The Male Sprague Dawley Rat., Michael Charles Babin

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Diethyltoluenediamine (CAS 68479-98-1) is a ring-ethylated analog of toluenediamine (TDA) and like TDA, consists of the 2,4- and 2,6-diamine isomers. DETDA was developed by Albermarle Corporation as a substitute for TDA in some applications. To determine the uptake and distribution of 2,4- and 2,6-DETDA, 5 groups of 4 adult male Sprague Dawley rats were gavaged at 179 $\mu$mol/kg body weight with ($\sp3$H) -2,4- or ($\sp3$H) -2,6-DETDA. Multiple tissues were collected at 1, 4, 8, 24 and 48 hours. Very high levels of label occurred in the gastrointestinal system and bladder during the first 8 hours while liver and kidney exhibited …

The Role Of Anxiety In Neuropsychological Dysfunction In Early Hiv Disease., Joseph Gerald Prejean Jr Jan 1997

The Role Of Anxiety In Neuropsychological Dysfunction In Early Hiv Disease., Joseph Gerald Prejean Jr

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The literature on neuropsychological functioning in patients with asymptomatic HIV disease is widely discrepant with prominent researchers on either side of the debate about whether or not early HIV infection is associated with neuropsychological deficits. Many theories have been put forth to account for these varied results, including inadequate study design, lack of measures sensitive enough to detect differences, and pooling of test scores across individuals that do have deficits, but not necessarily in the same areas. The present investigation was designed to examine the role of anxiety as a possible confounding variable that could account for differences across HIV …

Nursing Fathers: American Colonists' Conception Of English Protestant Kingship., Benjamin Lewis Price Jan 1997

Nursing Fathers: American Colonists' Conception Of English Protestant Kingship., Benjamin Lewis Price

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation traces the development of the concept of English Protestant kingship within the political culture of colonial America from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 to the beginning of the American Revolution. It is meant to illustrate the place of British kings within the structure and ideology of American colonial politics and society during that period. It illustrates Americans' understanding of the protection-allegiance relationship between English Protestant kings, especially the first two Hanoverian monarchs, and their subjects in the provinces of North America. This study also explores the language of Whig political discourse with its two primary "dialects" of Court …

Reconciling Chevron And Stare Decisis, Richard J. Pierce Jr Jan 1997

Reconciling Chevron And Stare Decisis, Richard J. Pierce Jr

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

Conflicts between Chevron and stare decisis can arise in several contexts. Pierce first identifies the values that are furthered by Chevron and stare decisis and then analyzes the judicial decisions that resolve conflicts between the two doctrines. The Supreme Court has announced and applied a series of mechanical rules to resolve such conflicts, e.g., Supreme Court precedents always trump Chevron deference, while even longstanding agency and circuit court precedents apparently count for nothing when the Court attempts to determine the meaning of statutory language. Circuit courts have announced and applied a dramatically different set of rules for resolving conflicts between …

Development And Implementation Of The Body Logic Program For Adolescents: A Primary Prevention Program For Eating Disorders., Paula Jonniece Varnado Jan 1997

Development And Implementation Of The Body Logic Program For Adolescents: A Primary Prevention Program For Eating Disorders., Paula Jonniece Varnado

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Eating disorder symptoms such as feelings of fatness, restrictive eating and purgative behaviors are observed in many children and adolescents. These feelings and behaviors, may, in some adolescents lead to the development of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. A recent series of studies has identified risk factors for the development of eating disorder behaviors in children and adolescents. These risk factors include overconcern with physical appearance, negative evaluation of physical appearance, social pressure for thinness, higher weight level, depression, and body dysphoria. It has been hypothesized that targeting adolescents who are at risk for developing an eating disorder may result …

Waterborne Materials Exchange Between Marshes And Open Water Of The Barataria Bay Estuary Of Louisiana, United States Of America., Ronald John Rovansek Jan 1997

Waterborne Materials Exchange Between Marshes And Open Water Of The Barataria Bay Estuary Of Louisiana, United States Of America., Ronald John Rovansek

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The exchange of carbon, sediment, and water between brackish marshes and a shallow, fine-grained bay of the Barataria Bay Estuary were examined in order to quantify the production, transport, and storage of carbon in the Barataria Basin. Factors controlling these exchanges were identified and measured. Flux of suspended sediments through a tidal bayou connecting marshes and open waters were measured throughout the year and during a variety of weather events. Discharge of porewater from the marsh substrate to surrounding waters via subsurface flows and surficial drainage channels were measured. Constituent concentrations in the marsh runoff were monitored and used to …

The Role Of Binge Eating Disorder In The Estimation Of Food Intake Of Obese Individuals., Drew Arthur Anderson Jan 1997

The Role Of Binge Eating Disorder In The Estimation Of Food Intake Of Obese Individuals., Drew Arthur Anderson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Individuals with binge eating disorder (BED) share some characteristics with persons with bulimia nervosa (BN) and some characteristics of obese persons who do not have problems with binge eating. Previous studies have found that while nonbinging individuals underestimate caloric intake, patients with BN overestimate caloric intake when intake is large. The present study hypothesized that because persons with BED binge eat, they would also overestimate caloric intake. A total of 56 women (9 with BED, 23 obese nonbingers, and 24 normal weight nonbingers) estimated several portion sizes of ice cream and then ate a test meal of ice cream and …

Technical Training Program Evaluation: Present Practices In United States' Business And Industry., Skip Twitchell Jan 1997

Technical Training Program Evaluation: Present Practices In United States' Business And Industry., Skip Twitchell

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

There is a lack of information on training evaluation. For those studies addressing the amount of evaluation that occurs and in which samples can be identified, the samples are non-random. There have been very few reports on the methods used for evaluation or the reasons why there is so little evaluation. This study used a random sample selected from members of the ASTD professional practice area titled, Technical and Skills Trainers. It can be argued that this is an informed sample involved in a training area that produces objective outcomes and should produce a favorable picture of training evaluation. Questions …

Examination Of Behavior Problems In Hiv-Infected Toddlers: The Role Of Maternal Factors., Jennifer L. Hoover Jan 1997

Examination Of Behavior Problems In Hiv-Infected Toddlers: The Role Of Maternal Factors., Jennifer L. Hoover

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The present study investigated the frequency and intensity of behavior problems exhibited by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected toddlers ages 16 to 40 months by comparing them to HIV-exposed toddlers, toddlers at risk for development delays, and healthy toddlers. The role of maternal factors, such as depression, insularity, and stress, in behavior ratings also was considered. Mothers completed a set of questionnaires and the toddlers' developmental status was assessed by a member of the research team. It was hypothesized that HIV-infected children would demonstrate a higher frequency and intensity of behavior problems than children in the three equivalent control groups. With …

Prodigal Daughters And Pilgrims In Petticoats: Grace Greenwood And The Tradition Of American Women's Travel Writing., Paula Kathryn Garrett Jan 1997

Prodigal Daughters And Pilgrims In Petticoats: Grace Greenwood And The Tradition Of American Women's Travel Writing., Paula Kathryn Garrett

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Recovering a forgotten woman writer from the nineteenth century, Prodigal Daughters and Pilgrims in Petticoats: Grace Greenwood and the Tradition of American Women's Travel Writing focuses on the public letters of Grace Greenwood (Sara Jane Clarke Lippincott). In the 1870s, Greenwood successfully communicated feminist ideas as the first woman employed by the New York Times and one of the first women to enter Congressional press galleries. In her letters, often on the front-page of the paper, Greenwood addresses the major woman's rights issues of the time: equal pay, coverture laws, male violence, gender restrictions, educational opportunities, and woman's suffrage.

Toward Prescriptive Alternatives To Secondary School Suspensions: Risk Analysis Using An Epidemiologic Approach., Cynthia P. Morgan-D'Atrio Jan 1997

Toward Prescriptive Alternatives To Secondary School Suspensions: Risk Analysis Using An Epidemiologic Approach., Cynthia P. Morgan-D'Atrio

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Data were collected from a large urban high school in order to investigate the characteristics of students who get suspended. Descriptive, epidemiologic analyses, and multivariate statistical analyses were used to investigate which, if any of several screening variables were most likely to predict secondary school suspensions for 9th grade students. Because multivariate statistics may be tedious for many to interpret, epidemiologic analyses were used in order to more easily disseminate study findings to readers and those within the school setting. For males, statistics were calculated for three groups of students: (1) males having more than one 9th grade suspension, (2) …

Sex On The Wards: Conundra For Clinicians, Douglass Mossman, Michael L. Perlin, Deborah Dorfman

Articles & Chapters

Should psychiatric inpatients be allowed to engage in sexual activities? Do clinicians have a right to prevent them from doing so? If so, when may sexual interaction be restricted? What sorts of clinical issues and problems are posed for nursing staff, and how should psychiatrists and administrators respond to these? These and related questions have received little attention from either medical or legal scholars, in sharp contrast to the extensive analysis devoted to other issues affecting the lives of psychiatric inpatients, and in especially sharp contrast to our culture's inundation with media messages about sex. This article summarizes the modest …

Eisenhower And The Gaither Report: The Influence Of A Committee Of Experts On National Security Policy In The Late 1950s, David Lindsey Snead

Faculty Dissertations

As the United States reeled from the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in late 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower received a top secret report prepared by a committee of leading scientific, business, and military experts. The panel, called the Gaither committee in recognition of its first chairman, H. Rowan Gaither, Jr., emphasized both the inadequacy of U.S. defense measures designed to protect the civil population and the vulnerability of the country's strategic nuclear forces in the event of a Soviet attack. The Gaither committee viewed these defense measures--ranging from a missile system to defend the continental United States to the …
