Comprehension And Vocabulary Strategies Using Related Tradebooks With Social Studies For Bilingual And Bicultural Middle School Students, Jennifer Suzanne Tindall Jan 2003

Comprehension And Vocabulary Strategies Using Related Tradebooks With Social Studies For Bilingual And Bicultural Middle School Students, Jennifer Suzanne Tindall

All Graduate Projects

In many schools, students from ethnic minority groups are immersed in secondlanguage reading curricula with minimal attention to their native language literacy (Droop & Verhoeven, 2003). These children face the challenge ofleaming to read in languages that they have not mastered orally. As a result, these second-language students can then experience considerable gaps in their understanding ofreading because reading instruction in any language strongly builds on oral language proficiency. For these reasons, second-language literacy learning is an enormous issue in our schools today (Goodman, Goodman, & Flores, 1984). This is why the author chose to research effective reading instruction for …

A Longitudinal Study Of Audiovisual Speech Perception By Hearing-Impaired Children With Cochlear Implants, Tonya R. Bergeson, David B. Pisoni, Rebecca A. O. Davis Jan 2003

A Longitudinal Study Of Audiovisual Speech Perception By Hearing-Impaired Children With Cochlear Implants, Tonya R. Bergeson, David B. Pisoni, Rebecca A. O. Davis

Scholarship and Professional Work - Communication

The present study investigated the development of audiovisual speech perception skills in children who are prelingually deaf and received cochlear implants. We analyzed results from the Pediatric Speech Intelligibility (Jerger, Lewis, Hawkins, & Jerger, 1980) test of audiovisual spoken word and sentence recognition skills obtained from a large group of young children with cochlear implants enrolled in a longitudinal study, from pre-implantation to 3 years post-implantation. The results revealed better performance under the audiovisual presentation condition compared with auditory-alone and visual-alone conditions. Performance in all three conditions improved over time following implantation. The results also revealed differential effects of early …

Time Is Not On Your Side: Establishing A Consistent Statute Of Limitations For The Alien Tort Claims Act, David E. Chawes Jan 2003

Time Is Not On Your Side: Establishing A Consistent Statute Of Limitations For The Alien Tort Claims Act, David E. Chawes

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment argues that inconsistent application of limitations periods to ATCA claims does not provide sufficient and certain notice to potential parties to allow them to bring a timely claim, thereby potentially denying them an opportunity to receive a fair hearing in federal courts. Absent a U.S. Supreme Court ruling to provide consistent guidance on the applicable ATCA limitations period, Congress should amend the statute to provide a specific ten-year limitations period for most torts. Because both international and U.S. laws provide that murder committed as part of the crime of genocide has no statute of limitations," ATCA claims arising …

Battering, Forgiveness And Redemption, Brenda V. Smith Jan 2003

Battering, Forgiveness And Redemption, Brenda V. Smith

Project on Addressing Prison Rape - Articles

While there has been some acknowledgement that battered women kill, there has been less acceptance that battered women may have been arrested for some other offense. Can those fallible women be “forgiven” for their offenses and allowed to receive the community affirmation, validation, social services, and protection that other battered women receive? This Article focuses on a topic that, though discussed, has frequently been dismissed in the domestic violence discourse; battered women’s forgiveness of their batterers and battered women’s process of forgiving themselves for participating in the relationship.

Images Of Engineering: An Investigation Of Gender And Attitudes Towards Engineering, Liz Hodgkinson Jan 2003

Images Of Engineering: An Investigation Of Gender And Attitudes Towards Engineering, Liz Hodgkinson

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences Theses

The research presented in this thesis used a mixed method approach to investigate the attitudes of sixth-form students in two British cities, towards engineering as a career, with the aim of finding out which factors encourage or discourage young people from becoming engineers, and whether these differ for males and females. The study can be set in the context of the declining popularity of engineering as a career choice for males and the continuing under-representation of females, for whom engineering is a non-traditional career choice. The principal research hypothesis was that negative images of engineering discourage girls and many boys …

The Inability To Ignore Auditory Distractors As A Function Of Visual Task Perceptual Load, Donald J. Tellinghuisen, Erin J. Nowak Jan 2003

The Inability To Ignore Auditory Distractors As A Function Of Visual Task Perceptual Load, Donald J. Tellinghuisen, Erin J. Nowak

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

Using a response competition paradigm, we investigated the ability to ignore target response-compatible, target response-incompatible, and neutral visual and auditory distractors presented during a visual search task. The perceptual load model of attention (e.g., Lavie & Tsal, 1994) states that task-relevant processing load determines irrelevant distractor processing in such a way that increasing processing load prevents distractor processing. In three experiments, participants searched sets of one (easy search) or six (hard search) similar items. In Experiment 1, visual distractors influenced reaction time (RT) and accuracy only for easy searches, following the perceptual load model. Surprisingly, auditory distractors yielded larger distractor …

Cosmetic Compliance And The Failure Of Negotiated Governance, Kimberly D. Krawiec Jan 2003

Cosmetic Compliance And The Failure Of Negotiated Governance, Kimberly D. Krawiec

Faculty Scholarship

Across a range of legal regimes - including environmental, tort, employment discrimination, corporate, securities, and health care law - United States law reduces or eliminates enterprise liability for those organizations that can demonstrate the existence of "effective" internal compliance structures. Presumably, this legal standard rests on an assumption that internal compliance structures reduce the incidence of prohibited conduct within organizations. This Article demonstrates, however, that little evidence exists to support that assumption. In fact, a growing body of evidence indicates that internal compliance structures do not deter prohibited conduct within firms and may largely serve a window-dressing function that provides …

Law And What I Truly Should Decide, John M. Finnis Jan 2003

Law And What I Truly Should Decide, John M. Finnis

Journal Articles

Suppose we tried to think about law without trying first to describe it or to work out what the concept of it is. Suppose we asked instead whether, and if so why, and when, we-or more precisely each one of us-should favor introducing, having, endorsing, maintaining, complying with and enforcing it. We would be trying to think about law, about something not limited to our own time and town, but as something that people of any time and place of which we are aware would, as we can understand, have the same or similar need for and reasons to comply …

Extensions And Application Of The Modified Large-Sample Approach For Constructing Confidence Intervals On Functions Of Variance Components, Kye M. Gilder Jan 2003

Extensions And Application Of The Modified Large-Sample Approach For Constructing Confidence Intervals On Functions Of Variance Components, Kye M. Gilder

Open Access Dissertations

The purpose of this dissertation is to present extensions and applications of the modified large-sample approach (MLS) for constructing approximate confidence intervals on functions of variance components. Manuscript 1 proposes a MLS approach for constructing confidence intervals for intraclass correlation coefficients. Two particular intraclass correlation coefficients are studied from an interrater and intrarater reliability study in which both raters and subjects are random effects in a balanced two-factor design, with and without subject-by-rater interaction term. A simulation study is conducted to investigate the confidence interval coverage proportions. In general, the MLS method provides satisfactory performance. Manuscript 2 considers the problem …

Life Experiences Of Cambodian-American Refugee Women: Segmented Life Stories, Jane A. Mccool Jan 2003

Life Experiences Of Cambodian-American Refugee Women: Segmented Life Stories, Jane A. Mccool

Open Access Dissertations

Of the estimated 50 million international refugees and displaced persons (U.S. Committee for Refugees, 2003), 80% are mothers with children (Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children, 2003). There is a paucity of research that explores refugee experiences with organized violence and healing following such events. Available research typically addresses acts of domination and oppression rather than life stories of individuals. Individual health and healing responses are ordinarily examined through the lens of psychotraumatology. A socialized view proposes that exposure to trauma is not a private experience and that the refugee experience of organized violence, the flight to safety, and …

Managed Profiles: The Value Of Personal Information In Commercial Exchange, Patricia A. Norberg

Open Access Dissertations

The research objective of this dissertation is to empirically test factors that are believed to influence consumer personal information disclosure in marketing, using economic theory and social exchange theory as a foundation. Specifically, this research tests the effects of elicitation type (transactional, relational) and level of trust (low, high) on Actual Disclosure, using a 2 x 2 experimental design delivered via the computer. As well, this research examines the effects of fairness judgment, risk perceptions and benefit perceptions as moderating processes. These processes are examined using both pencil and paper questionnaire and cognitive response. Findings suggest that the effects of …

The Effects Of Distress And Depression On Exercise Behaviors Of Type 2 Diabetics: Applying The Transtheoretical Model, Kelly Lynn Fisher

Open Access Dissertations

Adherence to self-management regimens among individuals with type 2 diabetes is a major issue. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of adjustment distress and depression, in relation to the Transtheoretical Model constructs of stage of change, processes of change, decisional balance, and self-efficacy for exercise behavior. A convenience sample of 125 type 2 diabetics between the ages of 33 to 86 (mean age of 62.3), were from a diabetes outpatient education center. Data was collected by mailing the following instruments: demographic survey, Short Geriatric Depression Scale, Problem Areas In Diabetes Survey, and Exercise versions of Stages …
