The Last Time I Saw Fritz, Marc L. Joslyn

International Journal of Transpersonal Studies

Zen is not merely an exotic practice imported from the Orient; it is the constantly fresh

realization ofTrue Nature everywhere and at every time. So, it may be expected that sparks

of Zen will be found in all cultures. Hence, having been engaged with Zen practice since 1964,

the author reminisces here about how he turned to Zen after his study of Gestalt psychology

and his encounter with Gestalt therapy in the person ofFritz Perls. Gestalt therapy as usually

practiced is not Zen, the author concludes. But if it clears the way for a glimmer of the Self

which has …

Assessing Vulnerability To Agricultural Drought: A Nebraska Case Study, Olga V. Wilhelmi, Donald A. Wilhite

National Drought Mitigation Center: Faculty Publications

Recent drought events in the United States and the magnitude of drought losses indicate the continuing vulnerability of the country to drought. Until recently, drought management in many states, including Nebraska, has been largely response oriented with little or no attention to mitigation and preparedness. In 1998, Nebraska began to revise its drought plan in order to place more emphasis on mitigation. One of the main aspects of drought mitigation and planning is the assessment of who and what is vulnerable and why. This paper presents a method for spatial, Geographic Information Systems-based assessment of agricultural drought vulnerability in Nebraska. …

Philippine Development: A Research Journey Through The Philippine Journal Of Development, Fernando T. Aldaba

Economics Department Faculty Publications

After 27 years of existence, the Philippine Journal of Development (PJD) is considered one of the longest running journals in the country.

With the founding of the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), the management of the …

Dynamic Co-Existence Of Company-Owned And Franchised Outlets Within A Company: A Framework Of The Franchisor's Perspective, Robert E. Sibley, B. Yoo

Faculty Publications

Why and how do company-owned and franchised outlets simultaneously exist within the same organization? The purpose of this article is to integrate a variety of theories on this interesting retail phenomenon into a broader theoretical framework based on the political-economy paradigm. This paper attempts to integrate the perspectives of several theories that previously have been considered competing models of a single reality--the access-to-capital viewpoint, transaction cost analysis, the population ecology perspective, and power-dependence-conflict arguments--into a broader perspective that utilizes intra-firmfactors and the internal and external economies and polities of the political-economy paradigm. A model depicting this integration is set forth …

Understanding Out-Of-Class Communication Between Instructors And Students: Student Biological Sex, Psychological Gender, And Status As A Communication Major, Brooks Aylor, Patrice Opplinger

Iowa Journal of Communication

Out-of-class communication (OCC) has been found to be valuable for the professional, academic, and personal development of students and instructors. To better understand and promote these interactions, the current study examined student characteristics associated with OCC frequency, satisfaction and content. Consistent with research in other communication contexts, students' levels of masculinity and femininity-but not biological sex-were associated with increased informal ace, satisfaction with ace, and use of OCC to socialize with instructors. Further, we found significant differences between communication students and instructors and non-communication students and instructors.

Ningyo: Destined For The Trash Can?, Anita Y.K. Davis

All Volumes (2001-2008)

Japanese Ningyo (dolls) are static art, individual sculptures and expressions of creativity. This paper explores the loss of these wonderful works of art. While western dolls fetch high prices and are highly sought after if even a few decades old, we explore the destination of most ningyo as they fail to be recognized or preserved. Particularly the dolls fashioned by women to decorate their homes, as their beauty fades they are set aside. What has happened to them? What is taking their place as globalization is changing the decorating desires of the Japanese?

The Issues Faced By Mentally Ill Gays And Lesbians, Tracy Lee Shockey

This project is significant to social work because it addresses a topic that has not been given much attention.

Osmotic Borders: Thinking Locally, Thinking Globally About The Causes And Effects Of Labor Migration, Roberto L. Corrada

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

The Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus defines osmosis both as "any process by which something is acquired by absorption," and as a biological cellular function by which solvents are absorbed through semipermeable partitions. The two articles by Professor Sylvia Lazos and Donna Maeda, which both deal with the causes and effects of labor migration, though on different levels and involving different populations, challenge traditional notions of the physical and metaphysical borders between nation-states.

In "Latina/o-ization" of the Midwest: Cambio de Colores, Professor Sylvia Lazos takes a close look at the increasing migration and presence of Latinas/os in the Midwest, particularly Kansas, …

Roman Law In American Law: Twentieth Century Cases Of The Supreme Court, Samuel J. Astorino

Duquesne Law Review

One of the most enduring problems of the legal history of the West concerns the influence of Roman law on the development and nature of subsequent legal systems. This Article examines cases decided roughly in the twentieth century by the United States Supreme Court in order to evaluate the manner, and extent, that that tribunal used Roman law. Legal historians who have ably chronicled the patterns of American legal development have almost totally ignored the presence of Roman doctrines in the jurisprudence of the United States. This Article delves into Roman Law in twentieth century Supreme Court cases to illustrate …

Probability And Statistics In The Legal Curriculum: A Case Study In Disciplinary Aspects Of Interdisciplinary, Mike Townsend, Thomas Richardson

Duquesne Law Review

This Article provides a general taxonomy for various types of educational interdisciplinarity. The discussion focuses, however, on what is called crossdisciplinary education, using a particular mathematics-based example to illustrate how crossdisciplinary education can be used to ask law students to (re)examine law as a discipline. The Article considers interdisciplinarity and the legal curriculum in the context of probability and statistics, using the well-known jury discrimination case of Castaneda v. Partida as a case study. The Article concludes with some brief observations on the importance of thinking about law as a discipline. This is the third installment of a work in …

The Educational Pipelinie For Women In Biology: No Longer Leaking?, Louise Luckenbill-Edds

ADVANCE Library Collection

Describing the past 30 years of progress toward gender equity in science, one observer wrote: "Although optimistic about future prospects, I must also point out some daunting toads and serpents lurking in the gardens of science. These challenge the rising generation of young scientists to be no less intrepid [that past activists who catalyzed change]" (Herschbach 1999, p. 66). The failure of the sciences to attract and retain women has meant a loss of diversity, as well as a loss of talent and creativity, that impoverishes research viewpoints and limits effective communication of science with diverse sectors of society.
