Family Planning Clinic Characteristics And Their Influence On Contraceptive Behavior And Pregnancy Rates In Alabama, 1994-1996, Margaret Beatrice Snively

All ETDs from UAB

Objectives. The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) whether characteristics of Alabama's Title X family planning clinics influenced birth, abortion, and pregnancy rates of adult women, teenagers and all women; and (2) if there was an effect, whether it was through the intervening variables of client contraceptive behavior. Methods. Measures for clinic access and quality were obtained primarily from administrative reports and billing records routinely collected by the Alabama Department of Public Health for 1993-1995, using 65 of Alabama's counties as the units of analysis. Outcomes were county birth, abortion, and pregnancy rates for 1994-1996. Linear regression was …

Eye Health Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander People: Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Health Reviews: Number 1, Neil Thomson, Beverley Paterson Jan 1998

Eye Health Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander People: Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Health Reviews: Number 1, Neil Thomson, Beverley Paterson

Research outputs pre 2011

As with many other aspects of health status, it is most probable that prior to the European settlement of Australia in 1788 the eye health of Australian Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders was excellent. In fact. their eye health was almost certainly better than that of Europeans of the time. There are no definite data from early post-settlement times, but this conclusion appears reasonable from the results of a number of thorough surveys conducted as late as the 1940s and 1950s ( 1-4) Despite finding some severe preventable problems, particularly trachoma (a form of infective conjunctivitis - see Appendix l …


Wetland Vegetation Monitoring, 1998 Survey: Gnangara Wetlands, N. E. Pettit, R. H. Froend Jan 1998

Wetland Vegetation Monitoring, 1998 Survey: Gnangara Wetlands, N. E. Pettit, R. H. Froend

Research outputs pre 2011

Water regimes, both groundwater and surface water components dil'ectly effect distribution, health and species composition of wetland fringing vegetation. In the area of the northern Swan Coastal Plain overlying the Gnangara groundwater mound, wetland water levels and therefore the vegetation can be intimately connected to underlying groundwater levels. The Water Corporation (formerly Water Authority of Western Australia) has been drawing water from the Gnangara mound for domestic water supply for a number of years. The main objective of this study is to monitor the changes in the vegetation fringing these wetlands and to determine if this is related to changes …

Aiswa Literacy Working Party (Project No.3): A Review Of The Establishment Of Databases For Literacy Achievement, Judith Rivalland, Adrienne Huber

Research outputs pre 2011

Project Three of the AISWA Literacy Research Project reviewed the establishment of databases in Literacy achievement at a systems and schools level with a view to providing resource information for schools. The purpose of Project Three was to provide information to facilitate schools' ability to respond to requests for evidence of literacy achievement. This report begins with a summary of the history of the national, state and territories move to outcomes based learning over the past decade. In 1993, the responsibility for implementing this change was given to the states and territories which has resulted in great variation across Australia. …


Aiswa Literacy Project B P-3 Assessment : Teachers Developing Effective Literacy Assessment Strategies, Judith Rivalland Jan 1998

Aiswa Literacy Project B P-3 Assessment : Teachers Developing Effective Literacy Assessment Strategies, Judith Rivalland

Research outputs pre 2011

This project originated from recommendations from Phase 1 in the development of the National Literacy Plan for the Association of Independent Schools. These recommendations included the need for a systematic approach to literacy assessment and teaching. The current project aimed to address this situation. The primary purposes of the project were: to explore how teachers can best improve outcomes for children by understanding assessment measures more effectively; to provide time for reflection and discussion about what participating teachers find out from using the assessment procedures; to explore how this knowledge will help teachers select appropriate teaching for all children, particularly …


Pliocene And Pleistocene Marine Ostracoda Of The Limon Basin, Costa Rica: A Record Of Paleoenvironmental Change., Pamela Frances Borne Jan 1998

Pliocene And Pleistocene Marine Ostracoda Of The Limon Basin, Costa Rica: A Record Of Paleoenvironmental Change., Pamela Frances Borne

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Late Pliocene (3.8-3.6 Ma) and early Pleistocene (1.5-0.9 Ma) marine ostracodes of the Rio Banano, Quebrada Chocolate and Moin Formations (Limon Group) provide a detailed paleoenvironmental record for the Limon Basin, Costa Rica. The marine ostracode assemblages recovered from the Limon region do not provide evidence that the tropics cooled dramatically during the late Pliocene when the Northern Hemisphere was entering the Modern Ice Age. Paleoenvironmental interpretations are based on cluster analyses and a modern tropical ostracode analog analysis. Diverse ostracode assemblages of the middle Pliocene Rio Banano Formation are dominated by genera typical of the inner to middle neritic …


A Case For Procedural Justice Climate: Development And Test Of A Multilevel Model., Stefanie Elizabeth Naumann Jan 1998

A Case For Procedural Justice Climate: Development And Test Of A Multilevel Model., Stefanie Elizabeth Naumann

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Current conceptualizations of procedural justice focus largely on individual perceptions; no framework exists for examining procedural justice's social context. This dissertation presents a model that identifies contextual factors contributing to procedural justice climate and, in turn, a variety of work-related attitudes and behaviors associated with procedural justice climate. In general, empirical tests on data collected from 220 employees of two banks offered support for the model. Employee perceptions of leader member exchange, organizational support, and supervisor monitoring were positively associated with individual procedural justice perceptions. Work group perceptions of cohesion and supervisor visibility in demonstrating procedural justice were associated with …


Student Loan Procurement: Exploring Its Linkages To Leadership, Diligence, And Post-Collegiate Behaviors., Thresa Arnita Nelson-Brown Jan 1998

Student Loan Procurement: Exploring Its Linkages To Leadership, Diligence, And Post-Collegiate Behaviors., Thresa Arnita Nelson-Brown

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

With 50% of college attendees leaving college with student loan debt and the default rate of these loans dropping substantially, it may be time to turn our attention away from repayer-defaulter comparisons to look at loaner-non-loaner comparisons. This study addressed the research gaps in the student loans literature by linking leadership, diligence, and post-collegiate behaviors to loan procurement. Respondents in this study (n = 692) were examined and survey data was collected using abstracted versions of the Posner and Brodsky (1992) Leadership Practice Inventory, the Bernard (1991) Diligence Inventory, and an original demographic questionnaire. Leadership competencies, diligence competencies, post-collegiate behaviors, …


Experimental And Theoretical Study Of Dynamic Water Control In Oil Wells., Ephim I. Shirman Jan 1998

Experimental And Theoretical Study Of Dynamic Water Control In Oil Wells., Ephim I. Shirman

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A dynamic water control, dubbed Downhole Water Sink (DWS) technology, is a well completion technique for production of hydrocarbons from reservoirs with bottom aquifer causing water coning. Typically, a DWS well is dually completed with top completion designated mostly for hydrocarbon production and bottom completion used for water drainage and coning control. Positions and flow rates of the completions are the DWS performance parameters to be determined by a process designer. This dissertation presents a theoretical and experimental study of DWS performance for various reservoir conditions and production schedules. A new mathematical model, developed in this work calculates steady state …


John Jacob Niles's Settings Of The Early Poetry Of Thomas Merton In "The Niles-Merton Songs", Opp. 171 And 172., Melanie Boney Williams Jan 1998

John Jacob Niles's Settings Of The Early Poetry Of Thomas Merton In "The Niles-Merton Songs", Opp. 171 And 172., Melanie Boney Williams

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

John Jacob Niles (1892-1980) is renowned as a composer and performer of music in the folk style of his native Appalachia. However, his body of work also includes forays into opera, oratorio, symphony, and art song. In fact, Niles's final compositional endeavor was the setting of twenty-two poems by the poet and Trappist monk Thomas Merton (1915-1968), who resided at Our Lady of Gethsemani Monastery in Kentucky. The Niles-Merton Songs, Opp. 171-172 were composed between 1967 and 1970. This study focuses on text-music relations in seven settings of poems from Merton's first two poetry publications, Thirty Poems (1944) and A …


Beliefs And Practices Of Middle School Language Arts Teachers., Suzan Anderson Jan 1998

Beliefs And Practices Of Middle School Language Arts Teachers., Suzan Anderson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study is to examine the instructional beliefs and practices of middle school language arts teachers as they relate to developmental appropriate/inappropriate instruction. Developmentally appropriate instruction is defined as matching the curricula to the level of children's emerging mental abilities. If the learner is seen as a growing individual with developing abilities, then the aim of education should be to facilitate this development. This in turn means that the curricula must be studied and analyzed to determine that level of mental ability that is required to comprehend curriculum materials (Elkind, 1970). There is some concern that what …


Service Recovery's Influence On Complainant Attitudes And Intentions: A Perceived Justice Framework., James G. Maxham Iii Jan 1998

Service Recovery's Influence On Complainant Attitudes And Intentions: A Perceived Justice Framework., James G. Maxham Iii

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

I conducted two field studies (one in the banking industry, n = 692, and one in the new home industry, n = 339) that examined service recovery's influence on complainant perceptions of perceived justice (i.e., distributive, procedural, and interactional justice), satisfaction (i.e., transaction-specific satisfaction and overall firm satisfaction), and intentions (i.e., word-of-mouth intent and purchase intent). The studies assessed these perceptions over multiple time periods (i.e., post failure, post service recovery, and two weeks subsequent to service recovery) to better capture the perceptions as they form over time. The dissertation uses an equity theory framework in a service recovery context, …


The New South Gubernatorial Campaigns Of 1970 And The Changing Politics Of Race., Donald Randy Sanders Jan 1998

The New South Gubernatorial Campaigns Of 1970 And The Changing Politics Of Race., Donald Randy Sanders

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In 1970 four young racially moderate Democrats won the governor's chairs of Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina and Georgia. These southern gubernatorial elections and the subsequent inaugural speeches signaled a transformation of racial politics in the region. As the campaigns began, however, persistent ambivalence concerning the pace of integration and court-ordered busing of school children to achieve racial balances tempted many politicians to exploit these concerns. Their efforts failed; southerners had decided to obey the law. The successful candidates understood that the electorate had come to this decision with varying degrees of enthusiasm and that their campaigns must reflect this ambivalence; …


The Solo Piano Music Of Violet Archer: A Study Of Selected Didactic Works., Angela Sue Willoughby Jan 1998

The Solo Piano Music Of Violet Archer: A Study Of Selected Didactic Works., Angela Sue Willoughby

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Canadian composer Violet Archer has made contributions to virtually every genre of musical composition. Her avid interest in orchestral music manifests itself in the large number of instrumental works she has composed, and her love of setting poetry and scripture can be seen in her music for voice and chorus. The works for solo piano span the entire length of her career and represent a significant portion of her total output. Aside from a scant number of brief analytical sketches of various pieces in periodicals and biographical sections of books, there is no comprehensive study of Archer's music for piano. …
