Impacts Of Extension Education On Improving Residential Stormwater Quality: Monitoring Results, Michael E. Dietz, John C. Clausen, Glenn S. Warner, Karen K. Filchak

Journal of Extension

The project reported in this article evaluated whether stormwater quality could be improved by educating homeowners and implementing best management practices in a suburban neighborhood. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and bacteria levels from two watersheds were compared using the paired watershed approach. Resident surveys, property site assessments, soil tests, and water quality and quantity monitoring were conducted. A x2-analysis of survey data indicated no significant changes in measured behavior. Significant (p=0.01) reductions in NO3-N and fecal coliform bacteria concentrations occurred; however, total nitrogen concentrations did not change significantly.

Convergent Demographic Effects Of Insect Attack On Related Thistles In Coastal Vs. Continental Dunes, John L. Maron, Julie K. Combs, Svata M. Louda

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Insect herbivory is common, but the conditions under which it reduces the fitness and population size of plants remain poorly understood. We quantified population-level impacts of floral herbivory by specialized insects on cobweb thistle (Cirsium occidentale var. occidentale) in a California coastal dune ecosystem, and then compared these demographic effects to those published for Platte thistle (Cirsium canescens) in similarly designed exclusion experiments in the continental sand dune ecosystem in the Great Plains. As a separate test of the strength of the seed-to-seedling linkage, we quantified seedling establishment rates in seed addition plots and compared these …

Implementation Of Gy-Eq For Deterministic Effects Limitation In Shield Design, John W. Wilson, Myung-Hee Y. Kim, Giovanni De Angelis, Francis A. Cucinotta, Nobuaki Yoshizawa, Francis F. Badavi

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications

The NCRP has recently defined RBE values and a new quantity (Gy-Eq) for use in estimation of deterministic effects in space shielding and operations. The NCRP's RBE for neutrons is left ambiguous and not fully defined. In the present report we will suggest a complete definition of neutron RBE consistent with the NCRP recommendations and evaluate attenuation properties of deterministic effects (Gy-Eq) in comparison with other dosimetric quantities.

Using Culturally And Linguistically Appropriate Assessments To Ensure That American Indian And Alaska Native Students Recieve The Special Education Programs And Services They Need, John W. Tippeconnic Iii, Susan C. Faircloth

Disabilities

The American Indian and Alaska Native Education Research Agenda (Research Agenda Working Group, Strang & von Glatz, 2001) represents the most recent formal call for research leading to improved assessments for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) students with special learning needs. Similar calls were recorded at hearings and published in commissioned papers in the early 1990s (Cahape, 1993; Johnson, 1991). The disproportionate number of AI/AN students receiving special education services and identified as limited English proficient (LEP) indicates an ongoing need for the research. This Digest briefly reviews the legislation and literature pertaining to the influence of language and …

Census As A Techology Of Empire, David W. Darrow

History Faculty Publications

A census is an example of the social construction of knowledge and the politics of measurement. Measuring people assumes a political significance because it entails converting heterogeneous populations into numbers—stable pieces of knowledge that can be easily combined and manipulated. In constructing such numerical representations, census officials claim to be creating an objective portrait of the population. Censuses, however, also contribute to something less tangible by playing a key role in the creation of what Benedict Anderson has termed an “imagined community.” General censuses provide states with a unique opportunity to unify space and populations with a single instrument. Furthermore, …

當代生命倫理學, 甫昌 蔡, 明濱 李

Journal of Medical Education

生命倫理自一九七○年代起逐漸受到重視，台灣地區自一九九○年代起，也逐漸引起醫學教育學者及社會大眾的關注，而醫學倫理的教學方式與策略也逐漸轉向以問題為導向的跨科整合型的教學與案例研討，而本國探討有關醫學倫理學的論著篇幅也明顯地增加中；本文擬整體型地針對當代生命倫理學之歷史發展、生命倫理學之方法論（包括目的論、義務論、德行倫理、原則主義、女性主義生命倫理、決疑論、社群主義、儒家生命倫理）、原則主義的方法與原則（包括尊重自主、行善、不傷害、正義）及其批判、醫學倫理的十二個核心主題及生物基因科技相關主要倫理課題（包括基因改造作物、基因轉殖動物及異種移植、基因檢測、基因治療、幹細胞研究、人類無性生殖）做一概要、綜合性之介紹，並藉生命倫理議題之呈現嚐試指出生命倫理學不僅是一種集合多重專業之研究領域，並且與每一個醫療照護工作者及生命科學研究者都有密切的關係，有必要在醫學教育及生命科學教育與專業訓練的過程中被強調與實踐。

綜合醫院醫療爭議案件之心理社會面向分析, 士程 廖, 明濱 李, 美華 王, 玲玲 周, 源德 李, 博生 謝

Journal of Medical Education

醫療爭議日漸增加，風險管理更加重要，與醫療爭議相關之社會心理因素之掌控是關鍵之一。本研究旨在廣泛蒐集綜合醫院中，尚未逕付司法程序之醫療爭議案件，以個案研究之方式，分析其中之心理社會面向因素，為未來醫病溝通與醫療爭議之相關醫學倫理研究與教育，奠立實証之基礎。本研究共蒐集醫療爭議案例31件，按醫療爭議性質分類，醫療結果包括死亡及重大傷殘者20件（64.5%），輕度失能10件（32.3%），非醫療行為相關爭議案件1件（3.2%）。根據醫療爭議溝通過程之對談互動及書面資料分析，本研究結果發現知情同意過程不足之個案有15件（48.4%），顯著醫病認知差異者19件（61.3%）；醫療爭議發生時，呈現知情同意不足問題之個案，其年齡顯著較知情同意充分者為高，知情同意內容充足與否，與醫病溝通過程中呈現之認知差異，以及是否為死亡或重大失能顯著相關。整體而言，本研究發現引發醫療爭議之核心因素包括：災難性結果、醫療過程之不確定性及風險、急性期之危機處理、急性期後之治療策略溝通等。而醫病溝通之良窳以及知情同意原則之是否落實，往往與醫療爭議之發生及事後處理之難易程度相關。

Strategies In The Development Of Customised Multimedia Learning Resources In The Teaching Of Physiology, Mohd Afandi Muhamad

Journal of Medical Education

Simulation of physiological processes has often been used in teaching concepts on physiological mechanisms of action. For example, the simulation of action potential generation by numerical solutions of the Hodgkin-Huxley membrane equations has often been used to describe the processes of impulse generation. Based on a set of phenomenological equations, the model accurately realised the impulse trajectory of the squid giant axon. However, though highly realistic, numerical integration of stiff differential equations are often unwieldy, processor-intensive and not patricularly suitable for the purpose of teaching basic concepts. Development of simulations based on manipulation of graphical objects (sprites) or animation are …

Problem-Based Learning In Physiology:A Survey Of Department Heads In Medical Schools In Taiwan, Ying-Tung Lau

Journal of Medical Education

The amount of knowledge in the basic sciences has grown so much in recent years that the increase of course hours to cover them is near the limit. Problem-based learning (PBL) has been discussed, promoted, and implemented as an alternative or supplemental curriculum by several medical schools in Taiwan. Most medical schools have already adapted curriculum reform with varying amounts of small group-centered case discussions in addition to the traditional lecture-centered classroom teaching in the basic sciences including physiology. To assess the current situation of physiology teaching, we have surveyed the department heads with a questionnaire concerning the present implementation …
