Gathering Food And Nutrition Information From Migrant Farmworker Children Through In-Depth Interviews, Amy Fishman, Karl Pearson, Marla Reicks

Journal of Extension

As educators target the growing population of children of migrant farmworkers with nutrition education programs, information about educational needs related to nutrition and food safety knowledge and food purchasing and preparation responsibilities is needed. Individual interviews were conducted with 22 children (9-12 years old) in migrant work camps. Most children were significantly involved in food preparation activities, but to a limited extent in food purchasing activities. Most had learned food preparation skills at home, but did not verbalize preparing or planning meals based on knowledge of nutrition or food safety.

Service-Learning Is A Feminist Issue: Transforming Communication Pedagogy, Eleanor M. Novek

Service Learning, General

How do we "do" emancipatory feminist teaching when we have not observed it or experienced it ourselves? The author argues here that service-learning is a useful strategy for feminist communication educators to begin challenging the power relationships of traditional pedagogy. Pioneered in the 1960s and '70s, this pairing of traditional course work with community service is now used as a learning model in schools around the nation. Because service-learning allows educators to forge relational links between ourselves, our students, our neighbors, and the communities in which we live, it deserves careful consideration from feminist educators.

Effective Use Of Risk Communication Strategies For Health & Safety Educational Materials, Scott Hutcheson

Journal of Extension

Risk communication strategies can help increase the effectiveness with which educators, specialist communicate with audiences about human health and safety. This publication outlines specific techniques and strategies to motivate people to take action, calm people down when they are enraged, and to communicate information that may be difficult to understand. Many programming areas, agriculture and natural resources, community development, consumer and family sciences, and 4-H and youth each deal with risk-related subject areas. The application of strategies like those outlined in this publication can help to increase the effectiveness with which health and safety programs are developed and delivered.

Government As God: An Update On Federal Intervention In The Treatment Of Critically Ill Newborns, Dionne L. Koller

All Faculty Scholarship

Whether a severely impaired or critically ill infant should receive lifesaving, and sometimes extraordinary, medical treatment, or be allowed to die, is hotly debated. The issue initially garnered public attention in 1982, when an infant who was born with Down's Syndrome, “Baby Doe,” was allowed to die from a correctable birth defect. Following this, the federal government took a lead role in determining the fate of critically ill newborns. In the meantime, doctors, philosophers, and others have debated whether federal interference in this area is appropriate.

This essay will bring the reader up to date on the “Baby Doe” issue …

4-H Projects: Is Completion Important?, Jean M. Woloshuk, Guendoline Brown, Gena D. Wagaman

Journal of Extension

There are, by policy, no standards or requirements for 4-H membership that compels an individual to complete a project. This baseline study gained information on project completion of two project areas in 1996-1997 in West Virginia: 4-H animal science and food preparation. Data were collected and analyzed from reviews of 7,569 project enrollment forms from 45 projects. The overall completion rate was 67.3%. Results of this study provide direction for defining project completion and its importance in providing a viable educational program for 4-H youth. Further inquiry into factors affecting completion of 4-H projects needs to be made. Completion rate …

Factor Analysis Adds New Dimension To Extension Surveys, J Reynaldo A. Santos, Max D. Clegg

Journal of Extension

Survey has been one of the most popularly used research and evaluation tools in extension work. Traditional approach to survey analysis involves the use of frequency counts, t-test, correlation, and measures of central tendency. One procedure often left out, if not totally ignored because of its reputed complexity, is factor analysis. Factor analysis is a variable-reduction statistical technique capable of probing underlying relationships in variables using Likert-type scales. The procedure essentially removes metric redundancies from a survey and extracts the common thread that binds a set of observed variables together. The analysis can be implemented using a powerful SAS(R) procedure, …

Land Grant University Information Delivery Through Automated Telephone Message Services In The United States, Debby Newman

Journal of Extension

At least 15 states have offered information delivery through prerecorded telephone messages to answer repetitive questions. The public's response in different states varies from less than 100 to over 50,000 inquiries per year. Factors that determine usage include marketing, population, and availability of current scripts. States have shared scripts and a few have combined audio services with adjoining states. In response to the United State's 11% Hispanic Latino population, some are translating scripts into Spanish. To contain costs, a network could be formed. This group could share subject matter, communication needs of emerging populations, and marketing and product ideas.

Tissue Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids And A Digestive Phospholipase A 3 In The Primary Screwworm, Cochliomyia Hominivorax, A.R. Nor Aliza, R.L. Rana, Steven R. Skoda, Dennis R. Berkebile, David W. Stanley

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

We report on the presence of arachidonic acid in larval and adult tissues of the primary screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax and of the secondary screwworm, C. macellaria. Arachidonic acid is present in the phospholipids of whole animal extracts of both species. This fatty acid appears to be accumulated during the larval stages, because proportions of arachidonic acid were higher in adults than in larvae. These insects probably obtain the arachidonic acid from dietary phospholipids. We also report on a phospholipase A2 activity in midgut preparations from third instars of the primary screwworm. Phospholipase A2 is responsible for hydrolyzing fatty acids …
