Help One Another, Use One Another: Toward An Anthropology Of Family Business, Alex Stewart

Management Faculty Research and Publications

Anthropological kinship theory is explored for potential contributions to a theory of family business. This paper considers the costs and benefits of a role for kinship in business. Both derive from the discrepancy between the normative orders of kinship and markets; respectively, long-term generalized reciprocity and short-term balanced reciprocity. Because the former reflects the morality of society as a whole, kinship integrates social fields more readily than more specialized orders like markets.

Brigham Young's Word Of Wisdom Legacy, Paul H. Peterson, Ronald W. Walker

BYU Studies

During the thirty-three years that Brigham Young led The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1844-77, he set the Church on a course of following the Word of Wisdom to the letter. While most Church members failed to obey the revelation's proscriptions during Brigham's lifetime, he set the goal that members would eventually comply with the Word of Wisdom. During his tenure, he changed the standard from moderate use of tobacco, alcohol, tea, and coffee to full abstinence.

Effects Of A Multicomponent Intervention On Motivation And Sun Protection Behaviors Among Midwestern Beachgoers, Sherry Pagota, Dennis E. Mcchargue, R. Wayne Fuqua

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

Skin cancer is the most prevalent of all cancers in the United States. Although avoiding sun exposure and using sun protection reduces skin cancer risk, rates of such behaviors are moderate at best. The present study examined the impact of a multicomponent intervention that aimed to increase the saliency of skin cancer risk while promoting the use of sun protection. Midwestern beachgoers (n =100) participated in an intervention or questionnaire-only control group. Sun protection, stage of change, and sun exposure were measured at baseline and 2-month follow-up. The intervention group significantly improved in sun protection use and stage of …

Investing In Hope: Aids, Life Expectancy, And Human Capital Accumulation, Rui Huang, Lilyan E. Fulginiti, E. Wesley F. Peterson

Department of Agricultural Economics: Presentations, Working Papers, and Gray Literature

A three period overlapping generations model is developed to investigate the impact of shorter life expectancy due to disease, on human capital investment decisions and income growth. This research is particularly relevant to Sub-Saharan Africa given the dramatic reduction in life expectancy due to HIV/AIDS and the potential lasting effects on growth. Our results indicate that as life expectancy shortens so does schooling inducing a lower growth rate of income. These relationships are even more pronounced for the African continent than for the rest of the world.

FOCUS on Boise State

He’s been a politician, a university president and chair of Illinois’ Board of Higher Education. Bob Kustra (below) can now add Boise State president to the list. His appointment as the university’s sixth chief executive marks the start of a new era for Boise State. His experience will serve him well in facing the challenges of both a shrinking budget and an increase in demand for services. This issue looks at Kustra’s strengths as well as the legacy he inherits from outgoing President Charles Ruch. Cover photo by John Kelly.

Contractual Difficulties In Environmental Management And The Protection Of Biodiversity: The Case Of Conservation And Mitigation Banking, Paul Hallwood

Economics Working Papers

This paper offers a principal-agent model of feasible private contracting in mitigation and conservation banking aimed at the protection of natural habitat and bio-diversity of US wetlands and uplands. It is shown that while it is straightforward to design an incentive contract, such a contract may not achieve the federally mandated objective of no net loss of habitat. This is because the minimum payment required as an economic incentive to private agents may be greater than what they should receive for the habitat values that they actually created in the field. This possible problem is shown to derive from nonconvexity …

Methacholine-Induced Airway Hyperresponsiveness Is Dependent On GαQ Signaling, Michael T. Borchers, T. Biechele, J. P. Justice, T. Ansay, S. Cormier, V. Mancino, T. M. Wilkie, M. I. Simon, N. A. Lee, J. J. Lee

Faculty Publications

Airway function in health and disease as well as in response to bronchospastic stimuli (i.e., irritants, allergens, and inflammatory mediators) is controlled, in part, by cholinergic muscarinic receptor regulation of smooth muscle. In particular, the dependence of airway smooth muscle contraction/relaxation on heterotrimeric G protein-coupled receptor signaling suggests that these events underlie the responses regulating airway function. Gαq-containing G proteins are proposed to be a prominent signaling pathway, and the availability of knockout mice deficient of this subunit has allowed for an investigation of its potential role in airway function. Airway responses in Gαq-deficient mice (activities assessed by both tracheal …

Genetic Variation Among World Populations: Inferences From 100 Alu Insertion Polymorphisms, W. Scott Watkins, Alan R. Rogers, Christopher T. Ostler, Steve Wooding, Michael J. Bamshad, Anna Marie E.

We examine the distribution and structure of human genetic diversity for 710 individuals representing 31 populations from Africa, East Asia, Europe, and India using 100 Alu insertion polymorphisms from all 22 autosomes. Alu diversity is highest in Africans (0.349) and lowest in Europeans (0.297). Alu insertion frequency is lowest in Africans (0.463) and higher in Indians (0.544), E. Asians (0.557), and Europeans (0.559). Large genetic distances are observed among African populations and between African and non-African populations. The root of a neighbor-joining network is located closest to the African populations. These findings are consistent with an African origin of modern …

Expression Of The Extracellular Nucleotide Diphosphohydrolase, Ntpdase2, Is Down-Regulated In Primary Cholangiopathies, Joahd Toure

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Portal fibroblasts are newly discovered liver cells that may be of particular importance in biliary fibrosis. Recent data indicate that portal fibroblasts express NTPDase2, an ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase. Portal fibroblasts exist within the peri-portal regions of rat livers and express NTPDase2 adjacent to the basolateral side of intrahepatic bile ducts. Because extracellular nucleotides regulate secretion via activation of P2Y purinergic receptors, extracellular nucleotide hydrolysis via NTPDase2 makes NTPDase2 a potential regulator of bile ductular secretion. We propose that NTPDase2 expression may be altered in biliary fibrosis, especially in conditions in which bile duct epithelia are the target of disease. To …

The Dimensions Of Customer Satisfaction In The Financial Services Industry, Jose Salvador Lopez-Alarcon

Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

The objective of this study was to collect and interpret data on the areas that influence customer satisfaction in the financial services industry. Specifically, the research defined and explored the ten dimensions that provide the customers with the product perceived value of the product or service. A survey of 230 customers in the Boca Raton area was conducted; data generated through the survey was analyzed descriptively, as well as subjected to regression analysis.

The study found congruence of customer satisfaction and the dimension: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, competence, courtesy, credibility, safety, access, communication, and empathy. The study also determined that the …

Evidence Of An Association Among Age-Related Changes In Physical, Psychomotor And Autonomic Function, Robert H. Wood, Jan M. Hondzinski, C. Matthew Lee

Faculty Publications

Background: autonomic modulation of the heart, as measured by heart rate variability, is directly associated with cardiorespiratory fitness and inversely associated with all-cause mortality. The extent to which cardiorespiratory fitness and heart rate variability are related in older adults is difficult to ascertain due to difficulties in assessing physical fitness among older age groups. Objective: to examine heart rate variability and measures of physical function, thereby allowing for the inclusion of a greater cross-section of older adults than can be tested using traditional fitness tests. Methods: 39 older adults (mean age: 73.2±8.1 years; range=60-93 years) underwent evaluation of short-term (5 …
