Reproductive Experience And Stress Responsiveness, Jennifer Elizabeth Wartella Jan 2000

Reproductive Experience And Stress Responsiveness, Jennifer Elizabeth Wartella

Master's Theses

Hormonal fluctuations and maternal behavior associated with pregnancy and postpartum care of pups induce many changes in the female rat. Circulating hormonal surges during pregnancy modify the female brain in preparation for motherhood. Past studies identify the medial preoptic area, the hypothalamus and the basal forebrain as structures dense in hormonal receptors involved in controlling reproductive behavior. The hippocampus and amygdala possess many hormonal receptors. Neurons exposed to pregnancy hormones develop new synapses and increased spine density, changes reflected in behavioral preparations, such as nest building and increased foraging, for the new pups. Following the experience of birth, pup stimulation …

Corrective Justice And The Revival Of Judicial Virtue, Mark C. Modak-Truran Jan 2000

Corrective Justice And The Revival Of Judicial Virtue, Mark C. Modak-Truran

Journal Articles

Judges must be wise. Sound judicial reasoning requires moral virtue. These sentiments about judging have been lost. They apparently belong to a bygone era. While many advocate self-restraint or prudence as judicial virtues, moral virtue has been conspicuously absent from the list. Except for avoiding obvious vices such as bribery, favoritism, prejudice, sloth, and arbitrariness, conventional wisdom maintains that being a good judge does not require being a good person. Even theorists sympathetic to a relationship between law and morality balk at making moral virtue a prerequisite of judicial decision making. Rather, many contend that judicial decision making is a …

Deconstructing The Framers' Right To Property: Liberty's Daughters And Economic Rights, Barbara Stark Jan 2000

Deconstructing The Framers' Right To Property: Liberty's Daughters And Economic Rights, Barbara Stark

Hofstra Law Review

Deconstruction is a method for exposing hidden assumptions, that which is taken for granted, unquestioned. This Article draws on this method first to explain how the right to property, as understood by the Framers, became the hidden, unquestioned assumption of the Bill of Rights. Second, this Article draws on deconstruction to "unpack" the right to property to reveal the lesser-subsumed economic rights it takes for granted. It argues that the right to property and economic rights are iterations of the same rights, from the perspectives of the "haves" and the "have-nots," respectively. Recent work by women's historians makes it possible …

The Legal Construction Of Adolescence, Elizabeth S. Scott Jan 2000

The Legal Construction Of Adolescence, Elizabeth S. Scott

Hofstra Law Review

Two features of the legal regulation of childhood seem troublesome, but ultimately contribute to sensible policies in most contexts. First, the boundary between childhood and adulthood varies in different policy domains, through a regime of age grading under which elementary school students are deemed adults for some legal purposes, while, for other purposes, college students are children. Second, the transitional stage of adolescence is virtually invisible, because, for most purposes, law makers employ binary categories, classifying adolescents as either children or as adults. This framework - a series of legislative bright line rules, arrayed around a presumptive age of majority …

Critical Analysis Of Interventions Against Fgc In Egypt, Nahla G. Abdel-Tawab, Sahar Hegazi Jan 2000

Critical Analysis Of Interventions Against Fgc In Egypt, Nahla G. Abdel-Tawab, Sahar Hegazi

Reproductive Health

Community-based programs designed to discourage the practice of female genital cutting (FGC) in Egypt started as early as the 1920s, however, NGOs seldom document the implementation, strengths, and weaknesses of each approach; or difficulties faced in implementation or ways of overcoming those difficulties. The present meta-assessment was designed by the Population Council to address these issues. Recommendations proposed to increase the effectiveness of anti-FGC interventions in Egypt include: conducting formative research to assess the needs of individuals/communities; using more participatory learning techniques in awareness-raising seminars and training workshops; focusing messages not only on the health hazards of FGC, but also …

Yelling, Not Telling: An Antitherapeutic Approach Promoting Conflict, Luis Muñiz Argûelles Jan 2000

Yelling, Not Telling: An Antitherapeutic Approach Promoting Conflict, Luis Muñiz Argûelles

Seattle University Law Review

In this Article, I will first examine the facts of the Pentecostal Church case, where the above quoted offensive language was used by the Puerto Rico Supreme Court (I). Later I will illustrate the reaction this language produced (II). Following this, I will briefly comment on the benefits and limits of a more conciliatory manner of expression (III). Finally, I will raise some questions as to whether the therapeutic jurisprudence movement should venture into conflicts where the parties are, in effect, testing out their respective political strengths or if it should concentrate on the more traditional fields that have earned …

Are Some Comparative Nutrition Claims Misleading? The Role Of Nutrition Knowledge, Ad Claim Type And Disclosure Conditions, J. Craig Andrews, Scot Burton, Richard G. Netemeyer Jan 2000

Are Some Comparative Nutrition Claims Misleading? The Role Of Nutrition Knowledge, Ad Claim Type And Disclosure Conditions, J. Craig Andrews, Scot Burton, Richard G. Netemeyer

Marketing Faculty Research and Publications

As the regulator of all national food advertising, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has expressed concern that consumers may be misled by certain comparative nutrient content claims in advertising. To help examine this issue, primary food shoppers were recruited and interviewed in three U.S. markets according to generally accepted procedures for advertising copy tests. The study employs a 2 (ad claim type) x 2 (nutrition knowledge) x 4 (disclosure type) between-subjects design using manipulated print advertisements. Misleading generalizations for absolute levels of sodium content beyond that of control ads are found for both specific and general nutrient content claims from …

Nutrition Ad Claims And Disclosures: Interaction And Mediation Effects For Consumer Evaluations Of The Brand And The Ad, Scot Burton, J. Craig Andrews, Richard G. Netemeyer Jan 2000

Nutrition Ad Claims And Disclosures: Interaction And Mediation Effects For Consumer Evaluations Of The Brand And The Ad, Scot Burton, J. Craig Andrews, Richard G. Netemeyer

Marketing Faculty Research and Publications

The effects of ad disclosure information on evaluations of the brand, the advertisement, and purchase intentions are postulated to vary across different ad claim types. In addition, consumers' product health perceptions are hypothesized to mediate the effects of the disclosure information and ad claim type on brand and ad-related evaluations. Results from a between subjects' experiment show that the health perception measure mediates the effect of the disclosure on brand and ad evaluations, but the interaction between the ad claim type and the disclosure is not mediated by the inclusion in the model of consumers' product health perceptions.

The Potential Role Of Contraception In Reducing Abortion, John Bongaarts, Charles F. Westoff Jan 2000

The Potential Role Of Contraception In Reducing Abortion, John Bongaarts, Charles F. Westoff

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

Since the 1960s the proportion of couples practicing contraception has risen rapidly, particularly in the developing world, and the mix of methods is now dominated by modern methods. Despite these trends, the incidence of unintended pregnancy remains high mainly because the number of children desired has declined. Worldwide there are almost as many unintended as intended pregnancies each year (not counting miscarriages, which are excluded in this analysis) and more than half of these unintended pregnancies end in abortion. This study examines the potential role of further increases in contraceptive prevalence and effectiveness in reducing abortion rates. The model used …

Effect Of Zinc Microelement On Quality Of Some Wheat Cultivars Grown In Central Anatolia, Gülcan Kinaci Jan 2000

Effect Of Zinc Microelement On Quality Of Some Wheat Cultivars Grown In Central Anatolia, Gülcan Kinaci

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Almost half of the cultivated areas of Turkey have been found to be zinc deficient. This deficiency is even more serious in Central Anatolia, the large cereal-producing region. Zinc is an essential element for nourishing plants, and also for normal development and functioning of humans and animals. Meeting the daily zinc requirement from diet is very difficult for people whose daily energy intake is based on cereals. However, wheat bread by itself contributes 40-70 % of daily energy intake for Turkish people. One way to overcome this problem is by increasing the zinc content of wheat by applying zinc to …
