Case-Control Study Of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder And Maternal Smoking, Alcohol Use, And Drug Use During Pregnancy, Eric Mick, Joseph Biederman, Stephen V. Faraone, Julie Sayer, Seth Kleinman

United States Department of Veterans Affairs: Publications

Objective: To address the putative association between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and prenatal exposure to maternal cigarette smoking, drugs of abuse, and alcohol attending to potential confounding by familial ADHD, maternal depression, conduct disorder, and indicators of social adversity in the environment.

Method: A retrospective, hospital-based, case-control study was conducted with 280 ADHD cases and 242 non-ADHD controls of both genders. The case and control children and their relatives were systematically assessed with structured diagnostic interviews. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the adjusted effect of prenatal exposure to substance use and ADHD.

Results: ADHD cases …

Assessment Of Land Use/Land Cover Change Impact On Water Quality In The Davis Creek Watershed, Southwestern Michigan, Porntip Limlahapun

Masters Theses

This study uses Arc View Nonpoint Source Modeling (A VNPSM), an interface between Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution Model and ArcView GIS to assess the impact of land use/land cover change between 1978 and 1996 on water quality in the Davis Creek watershed, southwestern Michigan. The distribution of land use/land cover changes is identified by geographic analysis. Compared to 1978, agricultural land decreased by more than 60 percent while residential land increased by over 170 percent in the watershed in 1996. The hydrologic impact of the urbanization is evaluated by the AGNPS model. AVNPSM is used to derive required input parameters …

Learning In The Prairie, Meredith L. Beilfuss

Masters Theses

This research focused on fieldwork in geography and science education relative to the high school curriculum. First, the literature was reviewed to analyze the pedagogical and cognitive benefits of using fieldwork and how fieldwork might enrich the high school social studies and science curriculum in Michigan. Second, prairie curriculum resources were evaluated for suitability using the Michigan Education Standards and the National Standards for Geography. Finally, two groups of high school students engaged in fieldwork, using two different methods, photography and sketching, and were compared for their pre and post fieldwork knowledge of prairie ecological concepts. The pre and post …

Driving In Traffic: Short-Range Sensing For Urban Collision Avoidance, Chuck Thorpe, Dave Duggins, Jay Gowdy, Rob Maclaughlin, Christoph Mertz, Mel Siegel, Arne Suppe, Bob Wang, Teruko Yata

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Intelligent vehicles are beginning to appear on the market, but so far their sensing and warning functions only work on the open road. Functions such as runoff-road warning or adaptive cruise control are designed for the uncluttered environments of open highways. We are working on the much more difficult problem of sensing and driver interfaces for driving in urban areas. We need to sense cars and pedestrians and curbs and fire plugs and bicycles and lamp posts; we need to predict the paths of our own vehicle and of other moving objects; and we need to decide when to issue …

Rhythm And Movement In Ghana:Healing Through Dance Through Generations, Naima Penniman

African Diaspora ISPs

Rhythm and Movement in Ghana: Healing through Dance and through Generations is an odyssey into the potential of dance for social healing. The motivation for this study was to explore the role of artistic expression and positive cultural revival as a force for healing collective trauma. This project was aimed at understanding, in particular, the power and potential of Ghanaian dancing and drumming tradition: the important role is has played throughout the people's history as a vehicle for commune with the spiritual, a medium for release and expression, a force for social solidarity, and a tool for healing; and to …

A War Of Words: Halo Songs Of Abuse Among The Anlo Ewe, Corinna Campbell

African Diaspora ISPs

Sticks and stones will break my bones but words can never hurt me. Nearly every American child is taught the phrase. The Anlo Ewe of Ghana, however, have more reverence for the damaging potential of language. Their songs of abuse, or halo, are at once an artistic medium, a social control , and a source of humor and entertainment. At the same time they are a form of verbal warfare, with victims and casualties the same as in any other type of war. This mode of communication is at times beautiful and profound, yet because of the damage it can …

Liberation, Catherine Gillespie

African Diaspora ISPs

The intent of this paper is two fold. Firstly I wanted to identify the organizations that is involved in the Trokosi reform. Secondly I wanted to get a clear understanding of what the liberation process entails. During my initial research I had heard the term 'Liberated' over and over again. I begun to wander who was doing the liberation? Were these Trokosis happy to be liberated? This paper seeks to answer those questions. I begun with the News papers and ended up in the field meeting these women and men. This paper is record of those experiences and my attempt …

Welcomed Participants' Or 'Environmental Vigilantes'? The Cepa Environmental Protection Action And The Role Of Citizen Suits In Federal Environmental Law, Marcia Valiante

Dalhousie Law Journal

In the 1999 amendments to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, the federal government added a new citizen enforcement tool, known as an "environmental protection action." This was the first "citizen suit" provision in Canadian federal environmental law but it is unlikely to play more than a minor role in advancing enforcement of CEPA and is unlikely to be adopted in other environmental laws. This is because, despite initial interest in and commitment to citizen enforcement, the government was persuaded by industry representatives and others to significantly constrain the action and, shortly afterwards, to drop it entirely from the Species At …

Some Things Cannot Be Legislated, Robert M. Sherwood

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article argues that international intellectual property (IP) laws have limited effectiveness in developing countries without local support and robust institutional frameworks. It emphasizes that developing nations must recognize the role of IP in fostering economic growth and that judicial systems are critical in enforcing IP rights effectively.

It highlights how industries leveraged political and legal mechanisms to enforce TRIPS, while also addressing emerging challenges and opposition, particularly concerning public health and biotechnology.

Evaluation Of Clozapine Discriminative Stimulus Properties As A Function Of Training Dose, Adam J. Prus

Masters Theses

Clozapine (CLZ) is an atypical antipsychotic with negligible extrapyramidal side-effects. Unfortunately, CLZ drug discrimination (DD) research has yielded inconsistencies with CLZ's known pharmacological characteristics. Porter et al. (2000) have suggested that the standard 5.0 mg/kg CLZ training dose is too high, thus accounting for difficulty in assessing clozapine's discriminative stimulus (S^D) effects. Therefore, 16 male Sprague-Dawley rats were trained to discriminate either 1.25 (Group II) or 5.0 mg/kg (Group I) CLZ from vehicle in a two-choice DD task. The typical anti psychotic haloperidol (0.1-0.4 mg/kg) did not substitute for either CLZ S^D, with the exception of …

Unfair Competition Under The Trips Agreement: Protection Of Data Submitted For The Registration Of Pharmaceuticals, Carlos María Correa

Chicago Journal of International Law

Before the entry into force of the TRIPS Agreement, countries had considerable latitude to determine rules for the protection of test data. The Agreement introduced the first international standard on the subject, as contained in its Article 39.3. But the Agreement is not a uniform law (it only establishes broad parameters for national rules). An important question is the extent to which the Agreement allows World Trade Organization ("WTO") members freedom to apply different approaches for test data protection and, in particular, the extent to which a competitive model- protection without exclusivity-is compatible with the minimum standards set forth by …

From The Core To The Peripheries: Multilateral Governance Of Malaria In A Multi-Cultural World, Obijiofor Aginam

Chicago Journal of International Law

This article discusses multilateral malaria control strategy, the RBM, its mission, vision, and relationship with traditional therapies in malaria-endemic societies, especially in Africa, where malaria is one of the biggest contributors to the burdens of disease. Because big multilateral partnerships like the RBM are almost always guilty of the charges of non-transparency, non-responsiveness, and insensitivity to the local constituencies they serve, I use Richard Falk's twin concepts of "globalism-from-above" and "globalism-from-below" to explore the interaction between the RBM and traditional therapies in malaria-endemic societies. In search of a transparent cosmopolitan malaria regime, I propose a transnational dialogue between all the …
