Harmful To Whom? Panelists Consider The Conservative Backlash Against Judith Levine's New Book, Patrick Mccreery

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

Judith Levine jokingly says that at least she's in good company: Margaret Sanger, Alfred Kinsey, and Jocelyn Elders all were vilified for allegedly promoting sex between adults and children (though of course none of them did any such thing). Levine, a journalist and founder of the National Writers Union, has been vilified and worse because of her new book, Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children from Sex (University of Minnesota Press). In it, she argues that sex is not inherently harmful to teenagers, but can be healthy and empowering. Furthermore, she claims that society's responses to fears of …

Parenting And Adult Development, Rob Palkovitz, Loren D. Marks, David W. Appleby, Erin Kramer Holmes

Faculty Publications and Presentations

It is likely that the more engaged a parent is, the more his or her adult development will be affected. Because there is a direct relationship between the degree of investment a person places in any developmental context and the outcome that the context exerts, it has been hypothesized that the developmental impact of parenting is directly related to its cumulative salience in relation to other contexts of development (Palkovitz, 1996). This chapter represents an attempt to summarize pertinent empirical findings, to further refine conceptual constructs, to elaborate upon their interactions and to facilitate understanding of the effects of parenting …

Early Weaning Beef Calves, Kent Tjardes, Cody Wright, Don Boggs

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Weaning calves earlier than the normal 6-7 months of age is a management practice that should be considered when pastures are short or quality is poor. Calves have been weaned successfully at less than 2 months of age. However, normal rumen function is not developed until approximately 120 days of age. Research has demonstrated that calves older than 90 days have satisfactory gains without being put on milk replacers. Calves can be placed in a drylot on a medium energy diet (NEg ≥0.45 Mcal/lb), on a higher quality pasture, or a pasture with supplemental creep feed.

Technology, Skills, And Health Care Labor Markets, Edward J. Schumacher

Health Care Administration Faculty Research

I. Introduction

Over the past twenty years dramatic changes have occurred in the health care industry. Between 1980 and 1993 expenditures increased from about 9 to almost 14 percent of GDP. Since 1993 spending has remained at about 14 percent of GDP, and health care spending in the U.S. has grown at an average rate of 5 percent, substantially below the 12 percent annual growth experienced in earlier years (Health Care Financing Administration, 2000). The emerging consensus is that the rapidly rising costs of the 1980s and early 1990s was driven primarily by technological change (Newhouse, 1992; Fuchs, 1996), and …

Lethal Elections: Gubernatorial Politics And The Timing Of Executions, Jeffrey D. Kubik, John R. Moran

Economics - All Scholarship

We document the existence of a gubernatorial election cycle in state executions, suggesting that election year political considerations play a role in determining the timing of executions. Our analysis indicates that states are approximately 25 percent more likely to conduct executions in gubernatorial election years than in other years. We also find that elections have a larger effect on the probability that an African American defendant will be executed in a given year than on the probability that a white defendant will be executed, and that the overall effect of elections is largest in the South. These findings raise concerns …

Can Policy Changes Be Treated As Natural Experiments? Evidence From State Excise Taxes, Jeffrey D. Kubik, John R. Moran

Economics - All Scholarship

An important issue in public policy analysis is the potential endogeneity of the policies under study. If policy changes constitute responses on the part of political decision-makers to changes in a variable of interest, then standard analyses that treat policy changes as natural experiments may yield biased estimates of the impact of the policy (Besley and Case 2000). We examine the extent to which such political endogeneity biases conventional fixed effects estimates of behavioral parameters by identifying the elasticities of demand for cigarettes and beer using the timing of state legislative elections as an instrument for changes in state excise …

Modeling The Effects Of Greenbelts At The Urban-Rural Fringe, Daniel G. Brown, S. E. Page, Rick L. Riolo, William Rand

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

We present and evaluate an agent based model (ABM) of land use change at the rural-urban fringe, comparing its performance to a mathematical model of the same process. Our simplified model was developed in Swarm using agents with heterogeneous preferences and a landscape with heterogeneous properties. The context of this work is a larger project that includes surveys of the preferences of residents and data on historical patterns of development. Our broader goal is to use the model to evaluate the ecological effects of alternative policies and designs. We begin by evaluating the influence of a greenbelt, which is located …

Environment Explorer: Spatial Support System For The Integrated Assessment Of Socio-Economic And Environmental Policies In The Netherlands, Guy Engelen, Inge Uljee, Roger White

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Environment Explorer is a system developed to support spatial scientists, planners and decision makers at the regional and national level in the Netherlands to analyse a wide range of social, economic and environmental policies and their associated spatial patterns. The core of this system consists of linked dynamic spatial models operating at both the micro- and the macro-geographical scales. At the macro scale, the modeling framework integrates several component sub-models, representing the natural, social, and economic sub-systems. At the micro level, cellular automata based models determine the faith of individual parcels of land based on institutional, physical and environmental factors …

Direct Service Staff Turnover In Supported Living Arrangements: Preliminary Results And Observations, Steve Seninger Ph.D., Meg A. Traci Ph.D., University Of Montana Rural Institute Rural Institute

Health and Wellness

High turnover rates mean that community providers of services to individuals with developmental disabilities may be replacing almost their entire direct service workforces each year. This instability imposes significant costs on each provider for recruiting, screening, and training replacement workers. It also adversely affects the quality of care provided to individuals served by community providers. Although the relationship requires further study, caregiver continuity appears to be an important factor in the health of an individual with developmental disabilities. The following observations are based on completed Corporation Questionnaires from seven Montana developmental disabilities service providers.

Evaluating Agricultural Systems For Environmental Sustainability Using An Impact Matrix Approach, James C. Ascough Ii, D.L. Hoag, Alejandra Engler-Palma

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Sustainable agriculture is a complex problem that demands consideration of many interrelated factors, processes, and institutions. Unfortunately, current definitions of sustainability are expansive, and use as a guide for strategic planning or decision making is clouded by ambiguity and a plethora of definitions. Regardless of how sustainability is defined, agricultural producers are interested in developing and evaluating agricultural management systems that are both environmentally sound and economically profitable. There has been a proliferation of decision analysis and economic indicator tools developed to aid producers; however, the tools rarely are used due to excessive complexity or a failure to capture important …
