Logs, Labor, And Living: An Archaeological Investigation Of African-American Laborers At The Upper And Middle Landing Sawmills At Natchez-Under-The-Hill, Jerame Joseph Cramer
LSU Master's Theses
By combining investigations of two sawmill complexes at Natchez-Under-the-Hill, Mississippi, and ethnohistoric data from contemporaneous mill operations in the region, this thesis analyzes aspects of two mid-nineteenth century lumber operations. It focuses not only on the machinery and technology involved in these operations, but also on the individuals, many of whom were enslaved prior to the Civil War, whose skills and labors provided the backbone for these early milling enterprises. The data for this research were derived from archival documents, oral testimonies, and artifacts recovered from archaeological survey and excavation. The archaeological data comes from excavations carried out at the …

Axis-Switching In Square Coaxial Jets, Victor Piffaut
Axis-Switching In Square Coaxial Jets, Victor Piffaut
LSU Master's Theses
Airflow from single and coaxial contoured nozzles with a square cross section is studied using constant temperature anemometry. The inner to outer jet velocity ratio is 1.5. The Reynolds number of the outer jet based on the hydraulic diameter of the outer nozzle exit is 15,300. Results are compared to previous data obtained with circular nozzles under the same conditions. Properties of the jets and their shear layers such as turbulence shear layer thicknesses and growth rates were derived from the velocity record. The mixing between the jets and with the external flow was found to be enhanced by passive …
Factors Influencing The Effects Of Realistic Job Previews On Applicant Judgments Of Organizational Attractiveness, Natalie Trask Bourgeois
Factors Influencing The Effects Of Realistic Job Previews On Applicant Judgments Of Organizational Attractiveness, Natalie Trask Bourgeois
LSU Master's Theses
Realistic job previews (RJPs) involve the presentation of both positive and negative job attributes to job applicants. Although several researchers have studied effects of RJPs on satisfaction, turnover, and performance, comparatively less research has focused on the effects of RJPs on attraction. This study extends previous RJP research by sampling both students who are education majors and currently employed teachers. It compared their ratings of attraction to organizations represented by an RJP or a traditional job preview (TJP). In addition, both teachers and education students completed a measure of negative affectivity (NA). Contrary to expectations, results of this study showed …

A Tale Of Two Conferences – Cuba Style, Gretta E. Siegel
Library Faculty and Staff Publications and Presentations
The past few years have seen a marked increase in the level of interest about libraries in Cuba. Twelve years ago, a rare glimpse was given in an American Libraries article which piqued some peoples interest, but travel restrictions at that time left many interested in visiting but having no way to do so. However, a relaxing of travel restrictions under the Clinton administration permitted "people to people" and cultural exchanges, thus allowing more people to get a look at this country through formal tours. Several successful library tours were organized and led by people such as Rhonda Neugebauer from …

Integration Of Reproductive Health Service For Men In Health And Family Welfare Centers In Bangladesh, Ahmed Al-Sabir, Mohammed Ahsanul Alam, Sharif M.I. Hossain, Ubaidur Rob, M.E. Khan
Reproductive Health
Over the last 30 years, Bangladesh’s national family planning (FP) program has mainly concentrated its promotional efforts on women’s adoption of FP. While the government policy has been effective in influencing women to accept contraceptive methods, men’s role in FP has been completely neglected. Similarly, male RH services are hardly available at Health and Family Welfare Centres (HFWCs). This report describes a project aimed at integrating male RH services within the existing government female-focused health-care-delivery system. The study was implemented by NIPORT in collaboration with the Directorate of Family Planning and the Population Council. Interventions resulted in a substantial rise …

Misoprostol And Teratogenicity: Reviewing The Evidence, Neena Philip, Caitlin S. Shannon, Beverly Winikoff
Reproductive Health
Misoprostol, a prostaglandin E1 analog marketed as Cytotec® for the prevention and treatment of gastric ulcers, is inexpensive and registered for use in over 80 countries. Many scientific articles show the preparation to be safe and effective for various reproductive health indications, including cervical softening and early pregnancy termination. Owing to the extensive body of published literature on these indications, misoprostol is now widely used for several reproductive health indications. The abortifacient properties of misoprostol are well known to medical professionals and frequently to the public. As noted in this meeting report, because the drug is available at low cost, …
Bangladesh: Link Adolescent Reproductive Health Resources To Increase Access, Frontiers In Reproductive Health
Bangladesh: Link Adolescent Reproductive Health Resources To Increase Access, Frontiers In Reproductive Health
Reproductive Health
Adolescents, who make up about 25 percent of the population of Bangladesh, have limited access to reproductive health (RH) information and services. With age at marriage increasing, young people are vulnerable to a variety of RH risks, including unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In 1999, FRONTIERS tested the feasibility, impact, and cost of several interventions to improve the RH of adolescents. The intervention took place in two experimental urban sites, while a third control site received prevailing services. Both sites received the community intervention, which involved sensitization and outreach to community stakeholders to encourage local support. Out-of-school adolescents …

Senegal: Involve Community Networks In Adolescent Reproductive Health, Frontiers In Reproductive Health
Reproductive Health
Senegal is undergoing rapid urbanization, leading to changes in traditional social and family structure. With these changes there is a rise in early sexual activity among young adults, and increased exposure to unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In Senegal, where 28 percent of the population is 10–19 years of age, a renewed focus on reproductive health (RH) services appears timely. In 1999, FRONTIERS began testing the feasibility, effectiveness, and cost of several interventions to improve the RH of youth. The study took place in three urban communities in northern Senegal. Two served as intervention sites where community- and …

Mexico: Strengthen Education On Adolescent Reproductive Health, Frontiers In Reproductive Health
Reproductive Health
Unprotected sex among Mexico’s young people often leads to unplanned pregnancy and unwanted births as well as risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV. From 1999 to 2002, FRONTIERS worked with the nongovernmental organization MEXFAM to test the feasibility, effectiveness, and cost of community-, clinic-, and school-based interventions to improve the reproductive health (RH) of youth aged 10–19. Eight cities were selected as intervention sites, and four as control sites. In the intervention sites, researchers worked with coordinators and “multipliers”—local community members such as teachers, community leaders, health-care providers, and peer educators—who taught courses on adolescent RH. In the …

Cameroon: Peer Education And Youth-Friendly Media Reduce Risky Sexual Behavior, Frontiers In Reproductive Health
Reproductive Health
Cameroonian researchers at the Institute of Behavioral Studies and Research (IRESCO), with support from FRONTIERS, conducted an operations research project between 2000 and 2002 to assess strategies to encourage abstinence, increase contraceptive use, and reduce sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates among sexually active youth. The intervention combined peer-education strategies with media campaigns to promote healthy behavior among youth in the Mokolo neighborhood of Yaoundé. IRESCO trained 49 peer educators aged 19–25 in reproductive health (RH) communication strategies. The team coordinated educational talks, counseling sessions, conferences, and cultural and athletic events; produced comic books and brochures; and sold French and English …
Philippines: Mobilize Policy Champion Teams To Foster Utilization Of Management Tools, Frontiers In Reproductive Health
Philippines: Mobilize Policy Champion Teams To Foster Utilization Of Management Tools, Frontiers In Reproductive Health
Reproductive Health
In September 2000, the Population Council launched a nine-month project to test the effectiveness of teams of “policy champions” to increase the utilization of operations research (OR) findings in reproductive health (RH) policy and programs in the Philippines. The team members, chosen from government, nongovernment, academic, and media institutions, received three days of orientation to become policy champions. The strategy was built upon evidence that local decision-makers in decentralized health systems often have little knowledge of RH, and rarely use research findings in their decision-making. The effort focused on using a research-tested community-based monitoring and information system to help providers …

Enhancing Quality For Clients: The Balanced Counseling Strategy, Federico R. Leon, Alex Rios, Adriana Zumaran, Marisela De La Cruz, Carlos Brambila, John H. Bratt
Reproductive Health
A central focus of high-quality family-planning care is the interaction between clients and the providers who serve them. In the ideal client-provider interaction, the provider treats all clients respectfully, responds to their reproductive needs and intentions, helps in the selection of the most appropriate family planning method, and offers sufficient information to use the method safely and effectively. To improve the quality of the client-provider interaction, Population Council staff developed a “Balanced Counseling Strategy,” a type of algorithm or decision tree, to be used in combination with several job aids, or visual memory aids. The Balanced Counseling Strategy structures the …
Improving The Quality Of Reproductive Health Care: How Much Does It Cost?, Laura Raney, Stephanie Joyce, John Townsend
Improving The Quality Of Reproductive Health Care: How Much Does It Cost?, Laura Raney, Stephanie Joyce, John Townsend
Reproductive Health
Quality care for clients should be the focus of a family planning and reproductive health program, but can programs afford it? There is no simple answer. The multiple dimensions of quality of care make it more difficult to identify and measure affordable improvements in service delivery. Calculating program costs is challenging, and different methods can lead to widely varying estimates. Determining how much quality costs is a challenge, but it is both possible and important for programs’ sustainability. This brief focuses on various aspects of costs and examines information about the cost of improving quality (as opposed to the cost …

Improving The Quality Of Reproductive Health Care For Young People, Liz C. Creel, Rebecca J. Perry
Reproductive Health
Nearly 1.7 billion people, about one-third of the world’s total population, are between the ages of 10 and 24, with the vast majority living in developing countries. As they mature, young people are increasingly exposed to reproductive health (RH) risks such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unintended or early pregnancies, and complications from pregnancy and childbirth. Improving young people’s RH care is key to improving the world’s future economic and social well-being, but young people’s RH needs are often overlooked or viewed through a lens of cultural values that limit care. During the past decade, in part as a result …
Traditional Birth Attendants In Maternal Health Programmes, Population Council
Traditional Birth Attendants In Maternal Health Programmes, Population Council
Reproductive Health
Despite the tremendous resources invested in training Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) over the past two decades, scientific evidence from around the world has shown that training TBAs has not reduced maternal mortality. Any improvement observed when TBA training programs have been introduced was because of the associated supervision and referral systems, and the quality of essential obstetric services available at first referral level. Conversely, evidence has shown reduced maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality when women have a “Skilled Attendant” (a qualified health care provider who has midwifery or obstetric skills) present at every birth. Thus, national safe motherhood programs, …

Evaluating Operations Research Utilization: Guidelines For Assessing Process And Impact, M. Celeste Marin, Jane T. Bertrand
Reproductive Health
The Population Council has been providing technical assistance and conducting Operations Research (OR) studies in family planning and reproductive health for over two decades. These studies are designed to identify problems and test strategies to resolve those problems, providing program managers, administrators, and policymakers with the information they need to improve service-delivery systems. The ultimate goal is that strategies tested through OR will be adopted, leading to changes in policy or operational procedures at institutional, national, or international levels. These changes are what we refer to as impact. The purpose of the new approach to evaluation described in this Evaluation …
