Characteristics Of The Labor Market And Human Resources Management In The Republic Of Kazakhstan, Bolat L. Tibekov, Janet S. Adams, Nancy Prochaska

Faculty Articles

Kazakhstan, an emerging economy moving from a communist centralized command approach to global market participation, shares issues with other republics in the Common Wealth of Independent States. Competitive advantages that bode well for its successful transition include abundant oil reserves, a developing legal system, and a government that appears to have learned from the mistakes of other CIS nations. However, the Republic has serious problems of population decline, poor infrastructure, and workforce habits incompatible with a market economy. This paper focuses on labor market and human resource issues that must be addressed of Kazakhstan to be competitive in the world …


Managerial Discretion In The Use Of Self-Ratings In An Appraisal System: The Antecedents And Consequences, Edward J. Inderrieden, Robert E. Allen, Timothy J. Keaveny Jan 2004

Managerial Discretion In The Use Of Self-Ratings In An Appraisal System: The Antecedents And Consequences, Edward J. Inderrieden, Robert E. Allen, Timothy J. Keaveny

Management Faculty Research and Publications

Self-evaluations of performance have elicited the interests of researchers over the last four decades. Supporters attest to the importance of employee involvement in the appraisal process while detractors raise issues concerning leniency, validity and purpose. This study examines the circumstances under which superiors have discretion to ask subordinates to self-evaluate their performance in an ongoing appraisal system. Three primary issues are investigated: the conditions under which superiors requested subordinates to self-evaluate, the relationship between opportunity to self-evaluate and the type of post-appraisal interview that was conducted, and the impact of self-ratings on performance appraisal outcomes. Three hundred twenty-six subordinates responded …

Loss Of Sympathetic Control Of Cardiovascular Function Following Spinal Cord Injury, Charles Everett Hogancamp Ii Jan 2004

Loss Of Sympathetic Control Of Cardiovascular Function Following Spinal Cord Injury, Charles Everett Hogancamp Ii

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

Cardiovascular control in the human is significantly impaired after spinal cord injury(SCI) having a direct effect on the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) causing an inability toregulate vasoconstriction below the level of the lesion. The effects of SCI on the two majorcomponents of blood pressure regulation, control of plasma volume and neural control of theheart and peripheral vasculature are poorly understood. In particular, no index to diagnosedisorders to autonomic control of the heart and vasculature has been developed. The presentstudy primarily utilized noninvasively acquired, easily accessible variables that may havepromise as indicators of autonomic activity for assessing the level of autonomic …


Optimizing Growth Conditions For Chemical Vapor Deposition Of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes, Stanton W. Mcvay Jan 2004

Optimizing Growth Conditions For Chemical Vapor Deposition Of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes, Stanton W. Mcvay

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

Carbon nanotubes present enormous potential for future nanoelectronic applications. This study details one method for producing such nanotubes via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of methane gas at high temperatures. This method represents the best known way to selectively place nanotubes, as will be needed for complex electronic structures. Various growth conditions are manipulated and the effects on the resulting nanotubes are recorded.


An Econometric Analysis Of Infant Mortality, Pollution, And Income In The U.S. Counties, Margarita Yuri Somov Jan 2004

An Econometric Analysis Of Infant Mortality, Pollution, And Income In The U.S. Counties, Margarita Yuri Somov

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

The concept of economic development has broadened to include environmental quality and population health. Interactions between income and pollution, income and health, and pollution and health have been studied separately by researchers from various disciplines. This study attempts to unify several different research strands and analyze simultaneous interactions between population health, measured by the infant mortality rate, pollution, and income in one endogenous system. Socioeconomic, racial, and rural urban disparities in infant mortality, pollution, and income are analyzed. The simultaneous equation system, estimated using the two-stage least squares method, tests whether pollution effects on infant mortality are outweighed by income …

Ultrastructure Of Mycobacterium Marinum Granuloma In Striped Bass Morone Saxatilis, D. T. Gauthier, W. K. Vogelbein, C. A. Ottinger Jan 2004

Ultrastructure Of Mycobacterium Marinum Granuloma In Striped Bass Morone Saxatilis, D. T. Gauthier, W. K. Vogelbein, C. A. Ottinger

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

An emerging epizootic of mycobacteriosis currently threatens striped bass Morone saxatilis populations in Chesapeake Bay, USA. Several species of mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium marinum, species resembling M. avium, M. gordonae, M. peregrinum, M. scrofulaceum and M. terrae, and the new species M. shottsii have been isolated from diseased and healthy bass. In this study, we describe the ultrastructure of developing M. marinum granulomas in experimentally infected bass over a period of 45 wk. The primary host response to injected mycobacteria was formation of large macrophage aggregations containing phagocytosed bacilli. M. marinum were always contained within phagosomes. Close …

Space-Based Fundamental Research And The Itar: A Study In Vagueness, Overbreadth, And Prior Restraint, Rachel Lehmer Claus Jan 2004

Space-Based Fundamental Research And The Itar: A Study In Vagueness, Overbreadth, And Prior Restraint, Rachel Lehmer Claus

Santa Clara Journal of International Law

Fundamental research is openly conducted science and engineering research carried out at institutions of higher education in the United States. Faculty, students, collaborators and other researchers in these institutions engage in the free, constant and lively exchange of ideas with their peers in the U.S. and abroad. Based on changes made by Congress in 1999, universities operating in the public domain and carrying out unclassified space-based research in various disciplines may find that they are not allowed to involved foreign students, faculty and collaborators in the research unless they obtain an export license from the State department. Based on ITAR …
