Citation Analysis As An Unobtrusive Method For Journal Collection Evaluation Using Psychology Student Research Bibliographies, Margaret Sylvia

Faculty Publications

Bibliographic citation analysis of student research papers is one method of evaluation the use of a journal collection. Journal selection and cancellation may be done on the basis of use and cost-effectiveness to maximize the usefulness of materials purchased with the library budget. An analysis of the bibliographic citations of research papers by undergraduate and graduate students in the psychology department of St. Mary's University was used as one basis for psychology journal selection and deselection in the academic library. Findings confirmed that the most cost-effective and the most used materials were usually held by the library. Titles that met …

Teaching Upperclass Writing: Everything You Always Wanted To Know But Were Afraid To Ask, Lissa Griffin

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

A survey conducted as part of this project reveals that law schools generally require their students to have an upperclass writing experience taught or supervised by non-writing tenured or tenure-track faculty. These teachers currently bear the responsibility for assigning, supervising, reviewing, and evaluating most of the writing by upperclass students, either through substantive seminars or independent study projects. In almost all schools there is no major curricular planning, systematic instruction, faculty training, or institutional support for upperclass writing.

Experiencing Physical Violence During Pregnancy: Prevalence And Correlates, Vilma E. Cokkinides, Ann L. Coker

CRVAW Faculty Journal Articles

Violence during pregnancy directly impacts the mental and physical health of pregnant women. We assessed the prevalence and correlates of physical violence around the time of pregnancy in a representative sample of 6,718 women in South Carolina. Physical violence, defined as "being physically hurt by husband or partner" or "being involved in a physical fight" was reported by 10.9% of recently pregnant women. These were correlates of violence: experiencing increased numbers of stressful life events, being unmarried, having increased parity, being on Medicaid, and having an unwanted pregnancy. Screening to identify violence in pregnancy in health care settings is vital …

Violence Against Women In Sierra Leone: Frequency And Correlates Of Intimate Partner Violence And Forced Sexual Intercourse, Ann L. Coker, Donna L. Richter

CRVAW Faculty Journal Articles

Violence against women is a significant public health problem which impacts women, men, and children. Little is known about the frequency or correlates of violence against women in Africa. In this cross-sectional study, we found that 66.7% of 144 women surveyed in a study of AIDS knowledge, attitude, and behaviours, report being beaten by an intimate male partner and 50.7% report having ever been forced to have sexual intercourse; 76.6% of women report either forced sex or intimate partner violence. Circumcised women were most likely to report intimate partner violence and forced sexual intercourse. To improve the health of women …

An Analysis Of The Effects Of Study Skills Instruction On Reading Comprehension Of Middle School Resource Room Students, Govinda Dasi Harmon Gottes

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Imagine that every day teachers, parents, and friends tell you to “try harder” and ask if you “get it?” You overhear teachers say that you do not “apply yourself”, and if you would only do your homework, you would learn everything much faster. Your parents bribe you with incentives, favorite activities, and even money if you would only bring home better grades. Your friends wonder if you are “dumb” and why you are not in any of their classes except for physical education and music. You have (or may have already for years) begun to think that there is something …

Contested Adoption And The Liberty Interest Of The Child, Marcus T. Boccaccini, Eleanor Willlemsen

St. Thomas Law Review

The Supreme Court of the United States has gone to significant lengths to outline an unwed father's rights in adoption cases, but has yet to address the child's rights in similar cases. It is these constitutionally protected rights, which are usually referred to as "liberty interests," that will be discussed in this Article.

Defining The Term Disability Under The Americans With Disabilities Act, William J. Mcdevitt

St. Thomas Law Review

The key to securing the rights and protections afforded under the ADA is to fall within the statutory meaning of the term "disability." As defined, "disability" is a term of art, the meaning of which is substantially different and more complex than that found in other acts. Although the meaning of the ADA specifically refers to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and its accompanying regulations, it does so in terms of setting a floor for the imposition of the standards applicable under this Act. Furthermore, the ADA has its own unique legislative history and regulations. Therefore, the purpose of this …

Intensive Family Preservation Services: A Short History But A Long Past, Kellie B. Reed, Raymond S. Kirk

Journal of Family Strengths

Intensive family preservation services (IFPS) is a program model that has been disseminated widely throughout the country, and has received federal recognition and monetary support since the early 1980s. Recently, IFPS has been criticized for seemingly being unable to prevent out-of-home placements. The authors contend that many evaluators and policy analysts have lost sight of the historical roots of IFPS, and are focusing only on recent fiscal and policy contexts when assessing IFPS program effectiveness. This article reviews the therapeutic and programmatic origins of IFPS including desired treatment outcomes, and suggests that evaluators and policy analysts redirect their focus accordingly.
