Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Modern children’s literature stresses individualism and multiculturalism. The first concerns the push in children’s literature to place more emphasis on developing a child’s individuality, to celebrate individual triumph rather than communal action. This trend seems to have succeeded in its goal. As Perry Nodelman states in The Pleasures of Children’s Literature, “Surprisingly few texts for children celebrate the value of groups of people working together as equals as opposed to the power of individuals controlling groups” (121- 122). The second, and more recent trend, concerns what Ron Jobe and many other critics of children’s literature believe to be the goal …

Beyond Misguided Paternalism: Resuscitating The Right To Refuse Medical Treatment, S. Elizabeth Malloy

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

The author focuses on the failure of the courts to provide a remedy for the right to refuse medical treatment. Health care providers, for a number of reasons, often ignore patient requests to forgo certain life-extending medical procedures. The courts have generally allowed medical professionals complete discretion in deciding whether to honor patients' requests. When patients
or their estates sue health care providers for violation of the right to refuse treatment, courts have refused to award damages. By failing to provide a remedy, the courts effectively make the right a meaningless one. While acknowledging the importance of physician autonomy, the …

Use Of Gdss And Training Of Group Members To Improve Decision-Making: An Empirical Study, Edward T. Chen, Sumit Sicrar, Hsin-Ginn Hwang

Journal of International Information Management

Using Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS) to enhance group work has been emphasized in several GDSS studies. Despite the volume of accumulated research, little attention has been paid to investigating the member training effects on group performance. Member training includes group task management techniques, such as constructive attitudes toward group task and decision-making by consensus. This empirical study evaluated the effects of using a GDSS and member training on group performance. The experiment found that groups with member training had better decision quality and GDSS groups demonstrated better decision quality.

The Effects Of Soothing Sounds On Individual Seatwork, Brady J. Delaurenti

Education | Print Theses

Music is an extremely powerful medium that has the ability to affect people in many ways. Of primary concern to educators is music's capacity to produce a calming effect in people. A study was conducted to determine the effect of soothing music and sounds on students' performance on individual seatwork. The study indicates that the playing of soothing music or sounds during times of individual seatwork increases time on task, productivity, and academic success.

Self-Organization Of Foraging Behaviour: From Simplicity To Complexity Without Goals, Frederick D. Provenza, Juan J. Villalba, Carl D. Cheney, Scott J. Werner

Behavioral Education for Human, Animal, Vegetation, and Ecosystem Management (BEHAVE)

A herbivore faces challenges while foraging--ongoing changes in its physiological condition along with variation in the nutrient and toxin concentrations of foods, spatially and temporally--that make selecting a nutritious diet a vital affair. Foraging behaviours arise from simple rules that operate across levels of resolution from cells and organs to individuals and their interactions with social and physical environments. At all these levels, behaviour is a function of its consequences: a behaviour operating on the environment to induce changes is itself changed by those events. Thus, behaviour emerges from its own functioningbehaviour self-organizes-not from that of its surroundings. This ostensible …

Professional Ethics - Attorney Misconduct - Rules Of Disciplinary Enforcement, Gerald J. Kross

Duquesne Law Review

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held that because of the "egregious" nature of the offense an attorney may not rely on purported "mitigating evidence" to avoid disbarment when he perpetrates a fraud on the judicial system by using an impersonator to orchestrate the conviction of one client to benefit another client.
