The Search For The Holy Grail In Ireland: Social Care In Perspective, Niall Mcelwee

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

This article suggests that social care in Ireland is at a crossroads and that the Irish Association of Care Workers is now at a crucial stage of its twenty-six year existence. It acknowledges that a number of practitioners and academics have spent an enormous amount of time and energy attempting to convince their peers and the general public that social care deserves independent professional recognition, but with little real willingness to problematise the discipline of social care. I argue that social care practitioners and advocates will be forced to fully embrace change and become both more dynamic and proactive than …

Gender-Based Pay Gaps: Methodological And Policy Issues In University Salary Studies, Myra Marx Ferree, Julia Mcquillan

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

Methodology is often a point of contention in gender-based salary studies. Although this debate seems at first to be merely about technical issues, it also has an important conceptual dimension. We argue that there are two competing implicit conceptions of discrimination, one institutional and the other individual, that underlie many such debates. We first contrast the preferred methodologies advanced by each side, the policy capturing approach and the flagging approach, and explore the theoretical meaning of their statistical models. We then describe a practical application of both methodological approaches in one specific salary inequity study. In conclusion, we reflect on …

Racial Disparities In The Delivery Of Health Care, Barbara A. Noah

San Diego Law Review

This article focuses on the role of conscious and unconscious bias in the delivery of health care. Racial disparities of a range of health care services are illustrated, including drug therapy, Medicare services, and organ transplantation. Methodological challenges to measuring such disparities are also addressed, as are sociological factors influencing disparities. Statutory and constitutional remedies are suggested to redress inequities. The author concludes, however, prospective approaches, such as regulation and education, are the most promising avenues to solving racial disparities in health care delivery.

A Model For Travel Mode Switching, Lei Cao

Dissertations

Transportation policy research assesses the effect of policy changes such as the imposition of a parking charge or the augmentation of passenger rail service, on individual travel behavior. Over the last few decades, Conditional Lo it Model has been strongly advocated among discrete choice models for transportation policy study due to its ease of estimation and realistic outcomes.

This dissertation analyzes the necessity of the entry of constraints in the indirect utility function. These functions are used in discrete choice models and form the basis for travel demand modeling. This dissertation proposes a hypothesis that the explicit entry of constraints …

Electronic Research Administration : Implementation At New Jersey Institute Of Technology, Lauren V. Rethwisch

Theses

Electronic Research Administration has become the current focus and future direction of the professional field of research administration.

My research evaluates the readiness of the university community to convert its various pre-award manual processes to an on-line system.

Comparative Issues Of Selection In Europe: The Case Of Greece, Dionysios Gouvias

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

This article deals with inequality of access to higher education in Greece, and especially, the case of the Metropolitan Area of Athens. Specifically, I deal with a general overview of the debates about "selection" in the educational systems of Europe, with special reference to the case of Greece. It is argued here that in those levels of the educational "ladder" where the degree of specialisation and the need for individual selection is insignificant, inequalities exist, but are not profound. ...

Illegal Drug Use During Pregnancy: The Effects Of Defendant Race And Type Of Defense On Juror Judgments Of Guilt, Anita Rotondo

Dissertations and Theses

Since the early 1980s fetal harm "caused" by women's illegal drug use during pregnancy has garnered public attention and legal scrutiny. Motivated by concerns over fetal health, the cost of caring for drug-addicted infants, and public support for get tough on crime policies, various states have employed statutes on child abuse, neglect or endangerment, delivering a controlled substance to a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor to criminally inculpate maternal drug users.

Utilizing a written hypothetical trial summary in which a woman was charged with child abuse for using cocaine while pregnant, this research explored the effects …
