The Relationship Between Principals' Leadership Characteristics And Characteristics Of Public Middle Schools, Linda S. Schneider-Rediske

Dissertations

Principals’ perceptions of the relationship between middle school leadership characteristics and the relevance and use of middle school characteristics were examined in this study. A systematic random sampling procedure was used to select principals from public middle schools in the State of Michigan. A survey instrument was developed to measure the variables. These variables were determined based on a review of the literature. The reliability of the instrument was obtained using the Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. Spearman rank-ordered correlations were used to determine the strength and direction of the relationships of each hypothesis.

The findings from this study suggest that there …

Reflection In Service Learning: Making Meaning Or Experience, Robert G. Bringle, Julie A. Hatcher

Evaluation/Reflection

Traditional methods of instruction based on lectures and textbook readings can be effective in some instances and for some types of! earning, yet many educators seek methods to enhance traditional student learning and to expand educational objectives beyond knowledge acquisition. Two related issues illustrate the limitations of traditional methods. The first is context-specific learning. Students are taught a particular module of content, they are provided examples of how to solve particular types of problems, and then they practice solving these types of problems. However, when the nature of the problem is varied, or when similar problems are encountered in different …

Renegotiation And Secured Credit: Explaining The Equity Of Redemption, Marshall E. Tracht

Vanderbilt Law Review

"In general, all persons able to contract are permitted to determine and control their own legal relations by any agreements which are not illegal, or opposed to good morals or to public policy; but the mortgage forms a marked exception to this principle."'

I. INTRODUCTION "Once a mortgage, always a mortgage." This cryptic comment, oft-repeated, summarizes a central tenet of mortgage law: The equity of redemption is essential, immutable, and unwaivable. In other words, every mortgage borrower has the right, at any time after default, to redeem the collateral by repaying the debt until the lender has completed a "foreclosure" …

Property And Economic Liberty As Civil Rights: The Magisterial History Of James W. Ely, Jr., Douglas W. Kmiec

Vanderbilt Law Review

This formidable six-volume collection by respected Vanderbilt legal historian, James W. Ely, Jr., is a paean to property as a civil right. The argument of the volumes is made through selected essays by multiple authors, covering colonial time to the present day. It is property, Ely writes in the series introduction, that secures individual autonomy from government coercion, prevents an over-concentration of political authority generally, and encourages investment and economic development., Ely knows the main lesson of history is remembering. The vast literature on the institution of private property, until now, was not sufficiently culled, digested, and assembled, however, to …

Role Of Gamma Interferon In Cellular Immune Response Against Murine Encephalitozoon Cuniculi Infection, Imtiaz A. Khan, Magali Moretto

Dartmouth Scholarship

Microsporidia are obligate intracellular protozoan parasites that cause a wide variety of opportunistic infection in patients with AIDS. Because it is able to grow in vitro, Encephalitozoon cuniculi is currently the best-studied microsporidian. T cells mediate protective immunity against this parasite. Splenocytes obtained from infected mice proliferate in vitro in response to irradiated parasites. A transient state of hyporesponsiveness to parasite antigen and mitogen was observed at day 17 postinfection. This downregulatory response could be partially reversed by addition of nitric oxide (NO) antagonist to the culture. Mice infected withE. cuniculi secrete significant levels of gamma interferon (IFN-γ). Treatment …

Pregnant Rat Uterus Expresses High Levels Of The Type 3 Iodothyronine Deiodinase, Valerie Anne Galton, Elena Martinez, Arturo Hernandez, Emily A. St. Germain, Joanne M. Bates, Donald L. St. Germain

Dartmouth Scholarship

Although thyroid hormones are critically important for the coordination of morphogenic processes in the fetus and neonate, premature exposure of the embryo to levels of the hormones present in the adult is detrimental and can result in growth retardation, malformations, and even death. We report here that the pregnant rat uterus expresses extremely high levels of the type 3 iodothyronine deiodinase (D3), which inactivates thyroxine and 3,3′,5-triiodothyronine by 5-deiodination. Both D3 mRNA and activity were present at the implantation site as early as gestational day 9 (E9), when expression was localized using in situ hybridization to uterine mesometrial and antimesometrial …

Technology As A Panacea: Why Pregnancy-Related Problems Should Be Defined Without Regard To Mitigating Measures Under The Ada, Jessica L. Wilson

Vanderbilt Law Review

In Gabriel v. City of Chicago, the Northern District of Illinois held that, while pregnancy is not a per se disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"),' pregnancy-related problems can be considered disabilities under the ADA. The holding in Gabriel, however, was not unique, as many other district courts have reached the same conclusion regarding pregnancy-related problems. The real question in cases such as Gabriel is whether the pregnancy-related problem at issue constitutes a disability under the ADA. This question requires an analysis of whether the pregnancy-related problem is a physical impairment that substantially limits a major life activity …

Prenatal Genetic Testing And Its Impact On Incidence Of Abortion: A Comparative Analysis Of China And Ireland, Stacy Klein

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines how cultural, political, and religious ideologies influence the use and regulation of prenatal genetic testing in China and Ireland, highlighting their contrasting approaches. China's liberal policies, driven by population control and economic considerations, contrast sharply with Ireland's conservative stance, rooted in Catholic teachings. The analysis critiques both countries' approaches against the ethical guidelines set by the NIH Workshop, emphasizing the need for a balanced regulatory framework that respects individual autonomy and cultural values.

International Trade And Commerce: A Bridge For The Israelipalestinian Peace, Amir H. Khoury

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the legal and economic framework governing trade between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA), emphasizing the critical role of trade in advancing the peace process. While the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements (DOP) and the Economic Protocol established foundational principles for economic cooperation, ambiguities in these agreements and practical challenges, such as border closures, hinder effective trade relations. The article argues that addressing these issues is essential to fostering economic interdependence and mutual benefit, which are key to sustaining peace and coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians.

Psychological Influencers Of A Consumer's Innovative Propensity: A Cross-Cultural Examination, Angela D' Auria Stanton

Theses and Dissertations in Business Administration

The purpose of this effort was to focus on measuring the psychological characteristics (specifically perceived risk, dogmatism, fatalism, self esteem, empathy, and cognitive complexity) of the innovative consumer. In order to assess the various relationships and interrelationships that exist in the psychological determinants of innovativeness, a structural modeling approach was employed. The model was also tested in a two country setting in order to determine its robustness cross-culturally. The innovative behavior measure focused on a single domain, the Internet, since innovativeness does not typically overlap across product categories (e.g. Gatignon and Robertson 1985).

Overall, the results of the test of …
