Researching The Public Opinion Environment By Sherry Devereaux Ferguson, Sage, 2000, Pp 296, Price: $30 (Cloth)., Vijay G Vancheswar Dec 2002

Researching The Public Opinion Environment By Sherry Devereaux Ferguson, Sage, 2000, Pp 296, Price: $30 (Cloth)., Vijay G Vancheswar

IIMB Management Review

Researching the Public Opinion Environment examines theories, systems, and methods for understanding and managing public perceptions that shape governments and corporations. Ferguson emphasizes environmental intelligence systems, research, and continuous feedback as essential tools for navigating rapid change and media scrutiny. The book critiques reliance on media reports alone, arguing that organizations should validate public opinion through surveys, focus groups, and other research techniques. It explains sampling methods, questionnaire design, and analytical tools such as content analysis, Delphi technique, and Q methodology. Ferguson also explores media influence, highlighting concepts like the spiral of silence and third-person effect in public opinion formation.

From Social Work To Human Services, David Stoesz Dec 2002

From Social Work To Human Services, David Stoesz

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Social work has forfeited its professional mandate and should be replaced by "human services." In three traditional areas of responsibility-child welfare, public welfare, and mental health-social work has failed to meet its societal obligation. Meanwhile the profession has used postmodern thought to justify a focus on internal constituency groups. A template for professional education in human services is proposed.

"For Their Own Good?": Sex Work, Social Control And Social Workers, A Historical Perspective, Stéphanie Wahab Dec 2002

"For Their Own Good?": Sex Work, Social Control And Social Workers, A Historical Perspective, Stéphanie Wahab

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This article provides an overview of the social responses to prostitution since the mid 1800s and how the responses of social workers have been shaped by shifting social contexts. Understanding the complex interplay of these forces is key to mapping out the divergent social work practice approaches with sex workers and their influence over time. The article presents three main constructs which have influenced social work responses to sex work; 1) the notion that women needed to be protected for their own good, 2) competing class values and, 3) social control.

Metallothionein Overexpression Prolongs Grafts Survival In The Early Phase Of Pancreatic Islet Transplantation., Xiaoyan Li Dec 2002

Metallothionein Overexpression Prolongs Grafts Survival In The Early Phase Of Pancreatic Islet Transplantation., Xiaoyan Li

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Pancreatic islet transplantation is a very promising treatment for type I diabetes. Many clinical trials have failed due to early islet loss and immune rejection. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been demonstrated to be involved in graft damage during transplantation. Metallothionein (MT) is an inducible antioxidant protein. Prior studies in our laboratory have shown that overexpression of MT in beta-cells reduces DNA damage and diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ), which damages beta cells by generating ROS. Therefore in this study we examined whether overexpression of MT in beta cells is beneficial to pancreatic islet transplantation. Isolated MT transgenic and normal …

Negotiated Families: Lesbians And Institutions In Southwest Michigan, Cynthia E. Foor Dec 2002

Negotiated Families: Lesbians And Institutions In Southwest Michigan, Cynthia E. Foor

Masters Theses

In this thesis, I look at the practices of certain lesbians and locate them within a particular historical and cultural context. I argue that the resources, the capital, both material and social, as well as the internalized orientations and expectations each woman brings to the crafting of her family, accounts for the particular family each has negotiated. It is within the particular historical constraints and opportunities that we can understand each family's experiences. The uniqueness of family experience is predicated on differences in the women's ages linked to the particular historical trajectory of sociopolitical changes in the U. S. Yet …

“Private” Crime In Public Housing: Violent Victimization, Fear Of Crime And Social Isolation Among Women Public Housing Residents, Claire M. Renzetti, Shana L. Maier Dec 2002

“Private” Crime In Public Housing: Violent Victimization, Fear Of Crime And Social Isolation Among Women Public Housing Residents, Claire M. Renzetti, Shana L. Maier

CRVAW Faculty Journal Articles

Although public housing is typically associated with high crime rates, little research has been done on fear of crime or violent victimization experiences among public housing residents. Moreover, there are few studies that look specifically at women’s fear of crime or violent victimization experiences in public housing, despite the fact that women constitute the majority of public housing residents. These issues were examined in the present study through interviews with female public housing residents in Camden, New Jersey (NJ). The interviews reveal high rates of violent victimization, especially at the hands of intimates and acquaintances. Fear of crime is also …

Information Marketing In Sri Lankan Academic Libraries, B. Jayatissa, N.N. Edzan

Research Publications (2000 to 2005)

Describes a study that investigates the marketing of "free-based" information services in five selected academic libraries in Sri Lanka. A total of 5 senior librarians were interviewed and 250 library users answered questionaires. The study revealed that all the academic libraries offer free information services to their clients with the exception of photocopying and document delivery services. The academic libraries should aggressively market their services/products and must move from the provision of traditional library services(book loans) to a more IT based information services(Internet).
