Does Your Mediator Measure Up?: Standards Of Practice For Family And Divorce Mediation, Andrew Schepard, Ann Milne

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

In most states, mediators are largely self-regulated. However, a variety of means have been developed to ensure that mediation services are provided in a competent and professional manner. Some regulation has been undertaken by state governments, courts, and professional associations. In addition, the Model Standards of Practice for Family and Divorce Mediation have been adopted by the American Bar Association (ABA), the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC), and other state and local family and divorce mediation groups.

Company Registration In Its Historical Context: Evolution Not Revolution, Miriam R. Albert

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

The piece examines proposals for changing the current system for registering securities under the Securities Act of 1933. Under the current transaction-based system, issuers must register each non-exempt public offering of securities. Despite the SEC's rule-making power, regulatory revision, at least with respect to the implementation of any major changes to the existing federal securities regulation landscape, has traditionally followed a somewhat cyclical model.

First, there is discussion in the academic and professional literature, commenting on, criticizing or proposing changes to some facet of the existing regulatory system (“public debate”); then, either overlapping with or following this public debate, the …

Corba: A Quantitative And Qualitative Comparison Of Industrial Strength, Commercial Corba Orbs For The Java Platform, Michelle Leigh Mckeller

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In distributed systems design, middleware is a key component. Middleware establishes the communication between a client and server in a multi-tiered architecture. One approach to middleware is implementing the OMG's CORBA standard, through the use of ORBs. Three of the more popular commercially available ORBs are Sun's Java 2 ORB, Borland's VisiBroker for Java, and IONA's Orbix 2000 for Java. The purpose of this graduate project was to compare the three ORBs both quantitatively and qualitatively. The project compares the ORBs quantitatively by measuring the performance of each ORB, in terms of response time. The comparison was done qualitatively by …

Improving Compliance: Listening To The Patient's Perspective, Faith Coleman

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

A large number of patients do not follow medical advice for reasons generally unclear to the health care provider. Significant morbidity and mortality can be outcomes of noncompliance. The purpose of this naturalistic inquiry was to study and clarify from the patient's perspective, issues identified as influencing the ability to comply with provider recommendations. Data collection and analysis occurred simultaneously as a fluid process of organizing and synthesizing qualitative material into categories or themes that emerged to illuminate a phenomenon. Seventy-six percent of participants described themselves as 100% compliant though they did not take medications as prescribed or failed to …

International Water Law For The 21st Century: The Contribution Of The U.N. Convention, Stephen C. Mccaffrey

McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles

In May, 1997, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Law of the Non- Navigational Uses of International Watercourses, a treaty that largely codifies the general principles of international water law. While not entirely free from controversy, the Convention has already been influential and will doubtless continue to be well into the 21st century. This paper provides an overview of the Convention, comments on some of its salient provisions, and considers its future influence.

The Caregiver Quality Of Life Cystic Fibrosis (Cqolcf) Scale: Development And Validation, Whitney Boling

All ETDs from UAB

The purpose of this study was to modify the Caregiver Quality of Life Index-Cancer Scale, develop it as the Caregiver Quality of Life Cystic Fibrosis (CQOLCF) Scale, and validate it in the CF family caregiver population. Another purpose of this study was to create a disease-specific instrument that assessed the CF family caregivers perception of their quality of life. Three research questions guided this investigation into assessing the quality of life of CF family caregivers: (a) Is the CQOLCF a reliable instrument for assessing quality of life in CF family caregivers? (b) Is the CQOLCF a valid instrument for assessing …

Institution Of A Behavior-Based Safety System In A Mid-Sized Corporation, Donald Gary Brown

All ETDs from UAB

A behavior-based safety system was instituted in a mid-sized corporation that employed approximately 650 individuals. The intervention consisted of training, observations, and feedback and used a time-series analysis with multiple baseness. One division received the intervention, while two other divisions served as concurrent baseness. Initially, the corporate safety team received training on the behavior-based safety system. They began conducting baseline observations in all three divisions in January 1998. In the division that received the intervention, the safety team began conducting baseline observations in April 1998 and the production personnel began their observations in June 1998. The other two divisional safety …

Examination Of Selected Prenatal Wic Program Components In Alabama Counties With Contrasting Rates Of Low Birth Weight, James Vernon Langie Jr

All ETDs from UAB

In 1994 there were marked differences in rates of low birth weight (LBW) infants at the county level in Alabama despite the relatively high overall level of prenatal participation by eligible women (approximately 70%) in the Women Infants and Children (WIC) program. Because LBW has a multifactorial etiology, regardless of how it is defined, this study examined the question of whether there were differences in WIC program and participant characteristics in Alabama counties with overall low rates of LBW compared with counties with high overall rates of LBW in 1994. When county-level data for WIC program characteristics were examined for …
