Regulation Through Intimidation: Congressional Hearings And Political Pressure On America's Entertainment Media, Kenneth A. Paulson

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This paper explores how Congress has shaped and limited the content of films, comic books, popular music, and television over the past century. Specifically, this report focuses on the path to "self-regulation" and industry-wide codes for these four media, and how government used pressure and influence to spur the adoption of standards.

Towards Heterogeneous Faith Communities: Understanding Transitional Processes In Seventh-Day Adventist Churches In South Africa, Alan Parker, Ph.D.

Faculty Works

This dissertation examines racial transition toward heterogeneity in three Seventh-day Adventist congregations in South Africa. This dissertation aims to uncover social factors involved in this change as well as to set forth a theological direction with application to the local faith community.

The first section examines recent studies and literature on multiracial congregations, indicating a possible breakdown between theory and practice. Using insights from Kuhn, Gadamer, Habermas, and Geertz, a critical correlational approach is proposed using narrative, community-based praxis, dialectical thinking, and eschatological vision. The theological methods of Groome and Browning are combined to suggest a four-phase approach to practical …

Chinese Environmental Attitudes And Climate Change : Survey Findings On Precursors Of China's Domestic And International Policies On Global Warming, Paul G. Harris

CAPS Working Paper Series

Attitudes toward the environment in China are ambiguous at best and anti-environment at worst. These attitudes are indicators of how the Chinese view the natural environment and how they are likely to behave toward it and respond to efforts to protect it—whether they will practice "green" development and preservation of nature, or instead contribute to practices that are turning China's air, land and water brown (or even black) with pollution. These attitudes are also important precursors to individual Chinese behaviours and the policies and actions of the Chinese government to combat global warming and climate change. As such, attitudes toward …

Cancer In Louisiana: Volume 18, Catherine N. Correa, Xiao-Cheng Wu, Patricia A. Andrews, Mei-Chin Hsieh, Vivien W. Chen

Cancer in Louisiana

At a time when many Louisianans have been touched by the effect of cancer either personally or among family or friends, medical science has continued to wage war against this important public health problem. High quality cancer registries are essential to those efforts. The Louisiana Tumor Registry has identified and collected data on newly diagnosed cases of cancer statewide since the diagnosis year 1988. With the participation of researchers, physicians, hospitals and cancer patients, these data, taken collectively, provide information contributing to the knowledge and understanding of cancer and its causes and treatments. Volume 18 of Cancer in Louisiana features …

Validation Of A Formative Student Teaching Performance Assessment: Meeting State Standards, Kirk E. Mathias, James L. Depaepe

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

Recent efforts undertaken to improve the quality of teachers in the state of Washington, have resulted in the development of pedagogical performance standards for student teachers. These standards are the result of a collaborative effort between the Washington Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (WACTE) and the Office of the Superintendent (OSPI). These two groups have specifically attempted to create an instrument/standards that would enforce the "No Child Left Behind Act of 2001" and decrease the achievement gap. Student teachers are required to meet all of the standards while teaching p-12 students. Based on teacher preparation programs and the stage …

Aviation : One Hundred Years Old., Sally M. Piccolo

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

Amidst the disturbing aftermath of September 11, 2001, the aviation industry is struggling to find a way to secure air travel in a world wrought with terrorist bombers, hijackers, and the like with one goal being to intimidate, subjugate, and demoralize innocent people around the world. Ensuring security and safety within a society is a daunting task, especially, in a free society, like that of the United States, where personal freedoms are the foundation of the nation. Regardless of your personal interpretation of the definition of freedom, the citizenry of the United States has historically reviled subjugation, intimidation, and demoralization …

Exploring How And Why Women Become Involved In Relationships With Incarcerated Men, Katherine L. Takas

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

The concept for this research project originated when in the 1990s there were local news stories concerning Oscar Ray Bolin, a serial killer who was being tried in Florida for the murders of women in Hillsborough and Pasco counties. His lawyer's wife met him, fell in love with him, and married him in a death row wedding ceremony. This case brought about questions such as: Why do women get involved with killers? How do they rationalize these types of relationships? Do they consider their relationships with inmates to be normal? How are these women different from women who are not …

Stimulation Of Capacitative Calcium Entry In Hl-60 Cells By Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Fields, Jody A. White, Peter F. Blackmore, Karl H. Schoenbach, Stephen J. Beebe

Bioelectrics Publications

Nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) are hypothesized to affect intracellular structures in living cells providing a new means to modulate cell signal transduction mechanisms. The effects of nsPEFs on the release of internal calcium and activation of calcium influx in HL-60 cells were investigated by using real time fluorescent microscopy with Fluo-3 and fluorometry with Fura-2. nsPEFs induced an increase in intracellular calcium levels that was seen in all cells. With pulses of 60 ns duration and electric fields between 4 and 15 kV/cm, intracellular calcium increased 200-700 nM, respectively, above basal levels (similar to100 nM), while the uptake of …

Pending future research, this tool has the potential …

Psychometric Study Of The Mahan And Ditomasso Anger Scale (Mad-As) In An Outpatient Cardiac Sample, Kimberly S. D'Andrea

PCOM Psychology Dissertations

Psychometric evaluation of the Mahan and DiTomasso Anger Survey (MAD-AS) analysis in an outpatient cardiac population is herein described. The MAD-AS is a newer instrument that measures the cognitive, affective, and behavioral components of anger and is beneficial in that it is brief. One hundred fifty cardiac outpatients and one hundred fifty non-cardiac dental patients were administered a demographic form that requested information about cardiac risk factors, the MAD-AS, and the STAXI-2, a widely used valid and reliable measure of state and trait constructs of anger. The MAD-AS factor structure, construct validity, internal consistency, and reliability were examined and found …
