Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder : Diagnostic Criteria Using The Diagnostic And Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders (4th Ed.) And Russell Barkley's 1990 Model Of Adhd, Justin Matthew Larson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

School teams perform assessments to aid in the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. In this thesis, a post-hoc descriptive study looked at what diagnostic model school teams in 3 Iowa Area Education Agencies used in assessing children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Three categories were used to describe the assessment process for this study, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th Ed.) (DSM-IV), Russell Barkley's 1990 Model, and an Other category. The researcher reviewed 24 student files to determine what diagnostic category was used in the assessment process. Data obtained through this study showed that there …

Effect Of Strength Training And Other Activities On Physical Self-Concept Of Females, Denise Cooksley Glew

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The past few years have seen an increased interest in the psychological benefits of exercise. The personality factor of self-concept typically remains relatively stable throughout adulthood unless a person's life experiences cause it to change. Physical self-concept, a dimension of self-concept, deals with how an individual views themselves and has been found to be affected by exercise. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of strength training on the physical self-concept of female college students. The study used a pretest, post-test, quasi-experimental design. The Physical Self-Concept Subscale of the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale was used to measure physical …

The 50th Anniversary Of The Catholic University Law Review, Ralph J. Rohner

Scholarly Articles

This is an essay, not a history, on the first fifty years of the Catholic University Law Review. When an enterprise survives that long, it is cause for acknowledgment and celebration. This seems especially appropriate for the Law Review when we consider that it is managed by amateurs, relies on volunteer labor, and changes leadership every year; yet, it has grown and matured into a respectable scholarly journal. There is reason to wonder from where the Law Review has come, what it has accomplished, and how and where it is going. There is reason, too, to reminisce over half a …

The Peculiar Case Of State V. Terry Lynn Nichols: Are Television Cameras Really Banned From Oklahoma Criminal Proceedings?, Robert D. Nelon

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

The truck bomb ripped into A.P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995, at 9:02 a.m. One hundred sixty-eight men, women, and children died. None knew Timothy McVeigh or Terry Lynn Nichols, nor did McVeigh and Nichols know them. In fact, Nichols was not even in Oklahoma City when the bombing occurred. He is now--occupying a special cell in the Oklahoma County Jail, awaiting trial on state charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and aiding in placing a bomb near a public building.

Nichols' trip to Oklahoma City was circuitous. Initially, separate federal proceedings against McVeigh and Nichols were …

The Price Of Fame: The Celebrity Image As A Commodity And The Right Of Publicity, Ty Ford

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This Note will examine several recent cases that illustrate how major stars are using the ever-widening scope of such doctrines to control their images in the media. These examples show how the right of publicity has evolved from a right designed to protect a performer's uniquely personal attributes and stylings from unauthorized (and unpaid for) exploitation into a legal fortress constructed around movie-star images that allows the star to separate unwanted attention from necessary popularity. Furthermore, it will explore the inherent contradictions in such a development, showing how it can be used to manipulate and control the very peripheral industries, …

Irreconcilable Congressional Treatment Of Internet Service Providers As Speakers, Raymond Shih Ray Ku

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This Article argues that under the CDA and OCILLA, Congress adopted facially inconsistent approaches towards ISP liability for expression. Nonetheless, despite the overt differences, it is possible to discern an underlying principle for determining when ISPs should be considered speakers that reconciles this inconsistency. Put simply, the CDA and OCILLA support an approach toward determining when ISPs are speakers that focuses on whether an ISP exercises editorial control over its network. This approach is evidenced by the fact that both statutes recognize that ISPs are able to exercise editorial control over any and all content on their networks, and both …

Why Traditional Insurance Policies Are Not Enough: The Nature Of Potential E-Commerce Losses & Liabilities, Anna Lee

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

There are two general categories of insurance policies: first-party policies and third-party/liability policies. First-party polices provide benefits directly to policyholders for losses suffered by the policyholders. For example, fire damage to the policyholder's plant or financial loss resulting from the interruption of the policyholder's business would be covered under the first-party insurance. Generally, these first-party losses are covered under policies such as "all risk," "named peril," "business interruption," or "expense to reduce loss" coverages. Among these various types of first-party policies, "all risk" insurance policies provide the broadest coverages.

Third-party or liability policies provide protection for claims against the policyholder …

Flag On The Play: 25 To Life For The Offense Of Murder, Sean Bukowski

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This Note will consider the extent to which the "professional athletic" community should add its own sanctions to those imposed by public law. First, it asks whether athletes are getting into more trouble than in the past, as it is possible that athletes are just following a trend of society, and thus are no more prone to violence than anyone else. Nevertheless, violent crime, especially that committed by role models like athletes, is especially damaging to society. Therefore, the Note then addresses why the sports leagues should care whether their athletes are committing such offenses.

It will then examine how …

Framing And Blaming In The Culture Wars: Marketing Murder Or Selling Speech?, Clay Calvert

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This Article uses the Pahler legal battle as a case study to examine the current culture wars that have placed the Hollywood recording and entertainment industries in the legal crosshairs of both legislative and judicial efforts to redefine popular teen culture. The first section demonstrates how the theories at issue in Pahler mirror the tactics used in the recent war against tobacco industry advertising that also allegedly targeted minors. Next, the Article situates Pahler within the context of Congressional hearings in the fall of 2000 that focused attention on the alleged Hollywood marketing of products featuring violent content to minors. …

Digital Performance Royalties: Should Radio Pay?, Bruce H. Phillips, Carl R. Moore

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

We must acknowledge that some questions remain unanswered. Have we entered an era in which record labels, recording artists, record producers, and musicians will finally earn royalties for the public performance of their creations? Will the recent Copyright Office action be a watershed development in United States copyright law? Or will the broadcasters and their well-funded and powerful lobbying arm, the NAB, prevail in the end--if not in the courts, then in Congress? The only clear answer is simply this: not if the RIAA, the record labels' own well-funded and powerful lobbying arm, has anything to do with it. It …

Property And Propriety In Galdós’S ​Doña Perfecta, David Laraway

Faculty Publications

One question sure to stir up a spirited discussion in any gathering of galdosistas is whether Benito Perez Galdos's Dofia Perfecta is finally able to transcend the tendentiousness of its own ideological leanings. 1 A long tradition of criticism of the novel faults its didacticism and questions whether its characters are endowed with any real depth (see Penuel 80-86). Stephen Gilman's observation that Dona Perfecta constitutes an "ideological Flatland" by comparison with the depth of Galdos's mature works nicely captures an intuition chat runs deeply among defenders and critics of the novel alike (378-79). However, a widely cited article by …

La Révolution Scientifique, Les Révolutions, Et L'Histoire Des Sciences. Comment Ernest Coumet Nous A Libérés De L'Héritage D'Alexandre Koyré, Marco Panza

MPP Published Research

Dans son intervention au colloque Koyré (Paris, 1986), Ernest Coumet a suggéré que le terme «révolution scientifique» ne désigne pas chez Koyré un événement historique, mais un idéaltype, au sens de Max Weber. L'auteur discute d'abord cette thèse de Coumet et expose les arguments que ce dermier apporte pour la soutenir. Dans la deuxième partie de l'article, il critique l'usage de la notion de révolution en histoire des sciences, en s'opposant en particulier à la possibilité de distinguer dans les productions des savants une «pensée scientifique» qui serait influencée par la «pensée philosophique» et dont les bouleversements marqueraient l'avènement d'une …

Gravitational Descendants And The Moduli Space Of Higher Spin Curves, Tyler J. Jarvis, Takashi Kimura, Arkady Vaintrob

Faculty Publications

The purpose of this note is introduce a new axiom (called the Descent Axiom) in the theory of r-spin cohomological field theories. This axiom explains the origin of gravitational descendants in this theory. Furthermore, the Descent Axiom immediately implies the Vanishing Axiom, explicating the latter (which has no a priori analog in the theory of Gromov-Witten invariants), in terms of the multiplicativity of the virtual class. We prove that the Descent Axiom holds in the convex case, and consequently in genus zero.
