Deconstructing Arguments From The Case Against Hypothesis Testing, Shlomo S. Sawilowsky

Theoretical and Behavioral Foundations of Education Faculty Publications

The main purpose of this article is to contest the propositions that (1) hypothesis tests should be abandoned in favor of confidence intervals, and (2) science has not benefited from hypothesis testing. The minor purpose is to propose (1) descriptive statistics, graphics, and effect sizes do not obviate the need for hypothesis testing, (2) significance testing (reporting p values and leaving it to the reader to determine significance) is subjective and outside the realm of the scientific method, and (3) Bayesian and qualitative methods should be used for Bayesian and qualitative research studies, respectively.

Review Essay: Jeremy Dupertuis Bangs, Editor And Translator, Swiss Sisters Separated. Pioneer Life In Kansas, Oklahoma, And Washington 1889-1914. From The Letters Of Louise Guillermin Dupertuis To Her Sister Elise Guillermin, The Painter, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

This work of nearly 500 pages presents a rich harvest of documents, data, and insights, derived from Jeremy Dupertuis Bangs' painstaking and expert effort as editor, translator, and interpreter. He first offers a concise introduction concerning the letters which had been exchanged mainly between Louise Guillermin Dupertuis (1848-1914), an 1889 immigrant to Kansas, and also some of her children, with Elise ( 1851-1931) and Isa line (b. 1841) Guillermin, the sisters of the book's title. Despite Louise's frequent entreaties, Elise stayed in Crettaz-Tavex sur Ollon in the Swiss canton of Vaud in whose studio the editor discovered their copious correspondence …

Analysis Of Platelet Activating Factor In The Gravid Reproductive Tracts Of Swine, William E. Plummer

Animal Science

Depressed hog prices in 1998 and 1999 were due to not enough shackle space (kill capacity) and not to a glut of slaughter swine. However, many swine producers were put out of business in California. In 2000, market prices rebounded due to increased shackle space and reduced numbers of slaughter swine available as a result of the sellouts of the previous two years. The economic roller coaster ride emphasized the need for maximizing profit while streamlining operations. Increasing numbers of pigs per litter, and thereby reducing the cost per pig produced, is one aspect of streamlining. A significant step in …

A Dictionary Of Letter Words, William E. Brandt Jr.

Word Ways

Letters can be used to represent words. That is to say, the sounds of the letters can mimic the sounds of words. An example of everyday use of a letter word is the promissory note called an IOU, which stands for, and sounds like, "I owe you". Letters used to present words have been called "grammagrams" by Richard Lederer and "ABC language" by Willard R. Espy. Two books with collections of sentences composed with letters as words are CDB! (Aladdin Paperbacks, 1968) and CDC? (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 1984), both by William Steig. The most well-known example of letter words …

An Italo-Hebraic Bilingual Homophonous Poem, Ghil 'Ad Zuckermann

Word Ways

The following is constrained literature, a logological piece, in which the Israeli part sounds identical to the Italian. From the English translations provided below, one can see that the poem(s) make sense, although it has a surreal, evocative flavour, and modernist style. Poetic license is fully employed. As Thomas Paine once said, "The sublime and the ridiculous are often so nearly related, that it is difficult to class them separately. One step above the sublime makes the ridiculous; and one step above the ridiculous makes the sublime again".

An A To Z Of Ten-Squares, Rex Gooch

Word Ways

There have been many discussions over the years on how to make ten-squares, including what kind of words are best suited. A review of all these ideas against the words in my 2000+ squares would be very lengthy, so I provide here some raw material for readers to do this if they wish. At the same time, it will be of wider interest to publish further reasonable examples to add to the four best I have already published.

Storytelling - An Interview With Joseph Cornell, Charles Yaple

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Storytelling has been an integral part of outdoor education since humans first began to try to explain their earthly experience and the mysteries of the natural world surrounding them. Currently, there is a resurgence of interest in storytelling as a method of motivating students and enhancing instructional endeavors. Taproot Editor Charles Yaple interviewed one of the leading storytellers in the world: Joseph Cornell, author, nature educator, and creator of the Sharing Nature Foundation in Nevada City, California. Cornell discusses his experiences with storytelling.

The Problem Of Unwanted Pets: A Case Study In How Institutions “Think” About Clients’ Needs, Leslie Irvine

Pets Collection

The research on organizational framing and the metaphor of institutional “thinking” highlight the ways that social problems organizations shape the ameliorative services they deliver. Social problems work then perpetuates representations of problems that may not match the conditions clients face. This study extends social problems literature to argue that organizations sometimes “think” differently about the problems they intend to solve than do persons involved with these problems in everyday life. Using ethnographic research and interviews, this article contrasts the way in which animal sheltering, as an institution, frames the problem of unwanted animals with how the public interprets that problem. …

Assessing Animal Welfare At The Farm And Group Level: The Interplay Of Science And Values, D. Fraser

Assessment of Animal Welfare Collection

In the social debate about animal welfare we can identify three different views about how animals should be raised and how their welfare should be judged: (1) the view that animals should be raised under conditions that promote good biological functioning in the sense of health, growth and reproduction, (2) the view that animals should be raised in ways that minimise suffering and promote contentment, and (3) the view that animals should be allowed to lead relatively natural lives. When attempting to assess animal welfare, different scientists select different criteria, reflecting one or more of these value-dependent views. Even when …

Fisheries Research Report No. 146 - Catch Composition Of The Western Australian Temperate Demersal Gillnet And Demersal Longline Fisheries, 1994 To 1999, Rory Mcauley, Colin Simpfendorfer

Fisheries Research Reports

Catch composition data were collected from Western Australia’s temperate demersal gillnet and demersal longline fisheries, between Eucla and Geraldton, over a five-year period from July 1994 to June 1999. Results were compared to Department of Fisheries catch records compiled from fishers’ monthly catch returns. Discarded bycatch of several species was estimated by bootstrapping their observed catch rates. Dusky shark, Carcharhinus obscurus, gummy shark, Mustelus antarcticus, whiskery shark, Furgaleus macki, and Port Jackson shark, Heterodontus portusjacksoni, were identified as the main components of the fisheries’ catch, however, catches were found to vary regionally. School shark, Galeorhinus galeus, dogfish of the family …
