The Grand Rapids Civil Rights Movement From 1954-1969: A Sociological Study, Philip J. Bostic

McNair Scholars Journal

Although advancements have been achieved over the past 30 years, many experts would argue that the problems that plague the African-American community have not changed much. The American Civil Rights Movement has been credited with improving the quality of life of under-represented minorities. The purpose of this study is to examine whether or not the Civil Rights Movement helped to improve the status of the African-American community in Grand Rapids, Michigan. A thorough analysis of the local newspaper, the Grand Rapids Press, from 1954-1969, supplies the empirical data utilized as the foundation of this research. The local data was applied …

Analysis Of Stormwater Policy: Rogue River Watershed, Kent County Michigan, Mike Buth

McNair Scholars Journal

When people think of water pollution, the image of a large pipe discharging a toxic chemical from a factory probably comes to mind. This type is classified as point-source pollution and in the past accounted for many water pollution problems. Today it is regulated and is not as large of a problem as it had been. Now we are facing different problems that are not quite so easy to see. Increased amounts of stormwater runoff in developing and urbanized areas are discharged into rivers and streams, carrying many different types of pollutants into the water from many different sources spread …

Typing The Type Site: Analysis And Comparison Of Chipped Stone Projectiles From The Norton Mounds Site With Other Middle Woodland Archaeological Sites, Jeff Chivis

McNair Scholars Journal

In archaeology, projectile points and other chipped stone tools are important for identification and interpretation of site chronology (dates of occupation), site function (subsistence practices for example), and establishing relationships with other sites and regions. The morphometric and raw material attributes of projectile points from the Norton Mounds (20KT1) site are described and compared to tools from other sites in Michigan and the Midwest dating to the same time period. The outcome of this analysis is the first in-depth documentation of these materials.

Impact Of Phonological Working Memory On English As A Second Language Students’ Vocabulary Learning, Joseph P. Haughey

McNair Scholars Journal

Phonological Working Memory (Baddelely, 1990) involves a mental processing space thought to be conducive to learning new vocabulary. Previous studies have shown that phonological working memory makes an important contribution to vocabulary learning, both in young monolingual children and in older children at initial stages of learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Recently, Pearson (2000) investigated phonological working memory, using a nonword repetition task incorporating English phonotactic patterns, in young preschool children learning English as a Second Language (ESL). Further analyses of these data will be presented, using a less-biased nonword repetition task incorporating a more basic CVCV pattern.

Images Of Marriage In American Culture: An Analysis Of Popular Music From The 1950s To The Early 1960s, Sherrie Ladegast

McNair Scholars Journal

This research is intended to examine perspectives of marriage and love by examining mainstream music from 1952- 1964 and is a small portion of a larger research in progress. The author will look at the history of rock-and-roll and the interacting role of culture and music. Songs were identified by random sampling, word searches, and Top 40 Billboard charts from 1952-1964. The research should note significant gender differences about how marriage is perceived and will examine changes between the periods concerning how marriage is portrayed. Overall, music lyrics perceived marriage positively.

Societal Response To Developmental Differences And Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment Outcomes, Randall R. Osborne

McNair Scholars Journal

Recent findings indicate an increased concern that conventional substance abuse treatment models consistently reflect less than satisfactory outcomes when applied to adolescents. This study investigates developmental differences among adolescents and adults as a possible cause of the disparity. The author conducted interviews with substance abuse professionals, developmental psychologists, adolescents in treatment, and adolescents no less than six months out of treatment. Questions focus on assessment agendas, developmental and motivational differences among adolescents and adults, movement along the addiction continuum, developmental tasks of adolescence, and adolescent receptivity. The results of the interviews among each group are compared and consistencies are noted. …

Drowning The Constraints Of Freedom: Schopenhauer’S Freedom Of The Will In Kate Chopin’S The Awakening, Bobbie Ann Rekis

McNair Scholars Journal

Although the overarching metaphor of The Awakening is the sea, it cannot be said that Edna’s victory lies in her death by drowning; instead, it lies in what she has made of her life. The novel tracks the evolution of her will. The will is the element of human nature that German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer calls the “thing-initself,” that which strives successfully against those constraints imposed by society. Edna desires to break through the chains of convention and constraint as she moves toward new freedoms—physical, intellectual, and moral. Edna’s victory lies within her ungrounded will, which in turn, wills itself …

Sexual Harassment: Do Perceptions Differ Across Race And Sex?, Amanda J. Webster

McNair Scholars Journal

Sexual harassment is a prevalent problem in the business world today. It interferes with effective organizational performance and has significant physical and psychological consequences for the direct victim (e.g., Gutek & Koss, 1993, Hanisch, 1996) and any indirect victims (e.g., Glomb, Richman, Hulin, Drasgow, Schneider, & Fitzgerald, 1997). The past two decades have seen a proliferation of research on the frequency of sexual harassment (Cohen & Gutek, 1985; Fitzgerald & Hesson-McInnis, 1989; Gutek & Koss, 1993), as well as how individuals perceive the harasser, the victim, and the situation (Corr & Jackson, 2001; Henry & Meltzof, 1998; Perry, Schmidtke, & …

International Bounty Hunter Ride-Along, Ryan M. Porcello

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Note explores the international implications of a plan proposed by two bounty hunters in the Tacoma, Washington area to charge U.K. thrill seekers to accompany them on manhunts in the United States. Part H explains the differences in Colonial American society that resulted in the early development of a commercial bail bond system to replace the English personal surety system. Part III examines the contractual relationship between a bail bondsman and a defendant, as well as the agency relationship between a bail bondsman and a bounty hunter, to show why bounty hunters have such unbridled power to arrest fugitives. …

Sharing Accounting's Burden: Business Lawyers In Enron's Dark Shadows, Lawrence A. Cunningham

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

A familiar pass-the-buck pas de deus in deal meetings occurs when the accountant says, after an impasse, "that's a legal problem" while the lawyer says "that's an accounting problem." The truth is, both are right; the trouble is, as Enron shows, prevailing professional cultures create a crack between law and accounting that resolute fraud artists exploit, not cultures that emphasize the intersection of law and accounting that should foil would-be fraudsters. As policymakers rush to respond to Enron, this perspective on law and accounting should be appreciated, as should Enron's place in soecity's parade of corporate debacles. At Enron's core …

Adsorptive Immobilization Of Cytochrome C On Indium/Tin Oxide (Ito): Electrochemical Evidence For Electron Transfer-Induced Conformational Changes, Asma El Kasmi, Michael C. Leopold, Ryan Galligan, Rebecca T. Robertson, S. Scott Saavedra, Kacem El Kacemi, Edmond F. Bowden

Chemistry Faculty Publications

The adsorptive immobilization and electrochemistry of horse and yeast cytochrome c on indium/tin oxide (ITO) electrodes is reported. Near-monolayer coverage was achieved in pH 7 phosphate buffers of ionic strength equal to 10 and 50 mM, respectively, for the horse and yeast species. The layers exhibit very well-behaved voltammetry and are stable on the timescale of hours to days. Cyclic voltammetry revealed quasireversible behavior that is a product of both electron transfer (ET) kinetics and ET-induced conformational changes. A square scheme mechanism linking the redox states and the conformational states is proposed. Using a simple ET kinetic model that adequately …

The Impact Of Maternal Race, Birthplace, And Regional Mobility Status On Birth Outcomes, Pattie Jo Carter Tucker

All ETDs from UAB

The purpose of this study was to determine if there is variation in birth outcomes to U.S.-born women that moved to or within the U.S. southern region. The 1995, 1996, and 1997 national files of linked birth/infant death certificates were combined to examine the relationship between maternal characteristics and adverse birth outcomes. The data were classified by maternal race (non-Hispanic African American and White American), and maternal mobility status was categorized into three groups: (a) nonmigrants—born in the southern region and delivered in their state of birth, (b) inter-region migrants—born in the southern region and delivered in a southern state …
