How Children In Cults May Use Emancipation Laws To Free Themselves, Robin A. Boyle Jan 1999

How Children In Cults May Use Emancipation Laws To Free Themselves, Robin A. Boyle

Faculty Publications

The author examines how children who are born into cults or brought into them at a young age can use state emancipation laws to gain independence when they are in their mid-teens, so long as they can demonstrate criteria that their states have established. Commonly, states require a showing that the minor has achieved some level of economic self-sufficiency and can live emotionally and physically independently from his or her parents. There are some difficulties for cultic children in demonstrating these criteria, but the obstacles are not insurmountable.

Time Spent On Higher-Order Tasks In Two Teacher-Apprentice Options, Elizabeth A. Wilkins-Canter, Audrey T. Edwards Jan 1999

Time Spent On Higher-Order Tasks In Two Teacher-Apprentice Options, Elizabeth A. Wilkins-Canter, Audrey T. Edwards

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

This study investigates the process of assisting a teacher prior to student teaching. Teacher candidates in two certification programs kept a log documenting the tasks they did during their on-site experiences and the time spent on eight types of tasks. A one-way analysis for repeated measures showed that, in both programs, candidates spent a majority of their time on clerical tasks, despite the value they saw in interpersonal contact. A t test for independent measures revealed no significant difference between constant and varied placements in time spent on teaching a whole class and on other highly valued tasks.

Erisa Preemption: Will The Elimination Of The Erisa Preemption Clause Help Or Harm America's Ability To Deal With Its Pending Health Care Crisis, Damon Henderson Taylor Jan 1999

Erisa Preemption: Will The Elimination Of The Erisa Preemption Clause Help Or Harm America's Ability To Deal With Its Pending Health Care Crisis, Damon Henderson Taylor

Journal of Law and Health

This article explores the arguments surrounding the fate of the preemption clause and argues that Congress must work to preserve self-insured employers' accountability to its employees while concurrently retaining the services of self-insured employers in the health care business. Part II analyzes the federal government's relationship with the health care industry, concentrating selectively on four episodes of federal regulation which helped create the health care crisis that we encounter today - the Hill-Burton Act, the Congressional amendments to the Health Professions Educational Assistance Act, the advent of Medicare, and ERISA. Armed with this understanding, Congress's evaluation of health care issues, …

When That Tune Runs Through Your Head: A Pet Investigation Of Auditory Imagery For Familiar Melodies, Andrea R. Halpern, Robert J. Zatorre Jan 1999

When That Tune Runs Through Your Head: A Pet Investigation Of Auditory Imagery For Familiar Melodies, Andrea R. Halpern, Robert J. Zatorre

Faculty Journal Articles

The present study used positron emission tomography (PET) to examine the cerebral activity pattern associated with auditory imagery forfamiliar tunes. Subjects either imagined the continuation of nonverbaltunes cued by their first few notes, listened to a short sequence of notesas a control task, or listened and then reimagined that short sequence. Subtraction of the activation in the control task from that in the real-tune imagery task revealed primarily right-sided activation in frontal and superior temporal regions, plus supplementary motor area(SMA). Isolating retrieval of the real tunes by subtracting activation in the reimagine task from that in the real-tune imagery task …

Imagining Machines: Time & Image In The Shorter Poems Of William Carlos Williams, Stuart Campbell Jan 1999

Imagining Machines: Time & Image In The Shorter Poems Of William Carlos Williams, Stuart Campbell

Theses : Honours

A discussion of time and image in the shorter poems of William Carlos Williams. The particular focus is Williams' short poems published between the Great War and World War II. The relationship between the form of the poems, and Williams' theories on poetry, as expressed in Spring and All, and The Wedge is examined. In turn, Williams' theories are viewed in the context of Imagism, Objectivist poetics, and the modernist machine aesthetic. Williams' application of these theories is seen to create a poetic form that generates images in the reader's imagination in synchrony with the moment.

Is There A Need For Speed? : Risky Driving Behaviour And Young Male Drivers : A Review Of The Literature, Catherine A. Ferguson Jan 1999

Is There A Need For Speed? : Risky Driving Behaviour And Young Male Drivers : A Review Of The Literature, Catherine A. Ferguson

Theses : Honours

Young male drivers have been identified as a high risk for Motor Vehicle Accident. This paper reviews three components for accident risk: the driving environment, society and individual factors associated with accident histories. Possible predictors for identifying young men at risk for accident involvement are driving behaviour, driving attitude and sensation seeking. Protective factors to reduce the incidence of risky driving in youth might include legal restrictions, increased education and training. The paper recommends that future research tests the above predictors for a relationship with accident involvement in young men.

The issues of measurement and definition were outlined, and a position was taken as to the multi-dimensionality of religiosity. The recent work on values by Schwartz (1992) was also explored. Values were defined and the theory of a universal set of values, as well as the relationship of values to each other was outlined, along with the organisation of those individual values into value types. …

Enhancing Autonomy For Battered Women: Lessons From Navajo Peacemaking, Donna Coker Jan 1999

Enhancing Autonomy For Battered Women: Lessons From Navajo Peacemaking, Donna Coker

Articles

In this Article, Professor Donna Coker employs original empirical research to investigate the use of Navajo Peacemaking in cases involving domestic violence. Her analysis includes an examination of Navajo women's status and the impact of internal colonization. Many advocates for battered women worry that informal adjudication methods such as Peacemaking ignore domestic hierarchies of power and thus facilitate the batterer's ongoing violence against the victim. Those who endorse the use of Navajo Peacemaking and other systems of restorative justice believe that such processes are better equipped to cut through the batterer's denial and victim blaming and are more likely to …
