Bilingual School Psychologists' Practices With Students With Limited English Proficiency, Christopher John Lopes

Open Access Dissertations

The present study investigated bilingual school psychologists' practices with students with limited English proficiency (LEP). Two hundred and forty-five psychologists from the 2000 National Association of School Psychologists (HASP) directory of bilingual school psychologists were asked to complete a survey reporting demographic information, levels and kinds of professional experiences, current assessment and other professional practices, levels of perceived accuracy, and levels and types of training. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the demographic information and assessment instruments used. Point-biserial correlations were used to evaluate the degree of relationship between selected pairs of variables. A series of principle component analysis was …

Do High School Advisory Programs Promote Personalization? Correlates Of School Belonging, Phyllis C. Meloro

Open Access Dissertations

Personalization of our nation's high schools has been identified as an important yet often overlooked component of successful educational reform. It is a result of having lasting positive relationships with teachers leading to a feeling of connectedness to their school. Research supports the role of personalization and school belongingness through their correlation with a number of positive educational and behavioral outcomes. High sense of school belonging is associated with an increase in educational variables such as high grades and academic motivation, and a decrease in school drop out and behavior problems. This study examined the relationship between an advisory program …

Youth In Action: A Study Of Developing Citizen Identity, Joyce L. Stevos

The Board of Directors consists of 17 youth and 3 adults and employs an executive director and 3 other adult staff. The group raises money, to sustain programs, through fundraising and grant writing. They raised …

Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Help In A Multi-Ethnic Sample: The Roles Of Beliefs About Mental Illness Etiology, Religious Orientation, And Acculturation, Pascal Jean-Pierre

Open Access Dissertations

The present research examined the roles of various cultural and demographic characteristics (i.e., beliefs about mental illness etiology, religious orientation and acculturation) in individuals' attitudes toward seeking professional help. Data collected from a multiethnic sample of 255 English fluent adult participants [Haitians (n = 55), Cape Verdeans (n = 30), Dominicans (n = 41), Puerto Ricans (n = 39), Irish (n = 44), and Italians (n = 46)] were included in this secondary analysis. Participants voluntarily completed questionnaire packets for a previous study by the present author. Previously analyzed variables (e.g., beliefs about mental illness etiology and acculturation) and new …

Validation Of A Tool To Measure Drug Knowledge: Evaluating Bioterrorism Preparedness Activities, Gregory A. Low

Open Access Dissertations

Background. Pharmaceutical supplies sufficient to protect millions of people are positioned to respond to a bioterrorist attack in the United States of America, but the educational resources, programs, material, and health professional staffing, to utilize those supplies optimally may be underdeveloped. Professionals and municipalities require objective tools to measure their ability to communicate necessary drug information to adhere to emergency prophylactic regimens. Objective. This research project created a survey tool and laid the foundation to establish the tool's validity to measure patient drug knowledge in bioterrorism preparedness activities that involve the dispensing of prophylactic medications. Methods. Test construction was based …

Quasi-Elastic Scattering Of Ultracold Neutrons, Oh-Sun Kwon

Open Access Dissertations

Ultracold neutrons (UCN) are neutrons of very low energies, enough to undergo total reflection from a given surface at any angle of incidence. As a result, they can be confined to a material trap when their kinetic energies are smaller than the Fermi potential of the trap material. However, they can be lost from the trap via nuclear capture reaction and thermal inelastic scattering from the trap surface. They can also be lost by quasi-elastic scattering when the energy gain is sufficient to exceed the Fermi potential. Possible models of UCN quasi-elastic scattering are interactions with hydrogen diffusing in an …

Hydrography, Suspended Sediments, Chlorophyll A, Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter And Optical Characteristics Of The Pearl River (Zhujiang) Estuary During July And November, 1998, Wendy Lynn Woods

Open Access Dissertations

The Pearl River (Zhujiang) is the second largest river in China and the largest in southern China, with a strongly seasonal discharge driven by Asian monsoon rainfall patterns. Optical characteristics of the plume region are expected to strongly affect light limitation of primary production and the interpretation of satellite remote sensing data. The river is enriched with nutrients from agriculture, aquaculture, and human waste disposal, and experiences frequent phytoplankton blooms. An understanding of factors controlling phytoplankton primary production is currently lacking, but is essential for effective water quality management. This study reports on the hydrography (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, …

The Rise And Fall Of Ec Comics, 1950-1956: Cold War Or Cultural War Casualty?, Francis Di Menno

Open Access Master's Theses

This thesis chronicles the rise and fall of the EC (Entertaining Comics) group in the period 1950-1956. Its purpose is to determine, through a study of primary and secondary sources, to what extent the 1954 congressional inquiries concerning the harmful effects of comic books were the culmination of a series of personal and political vendettas against EC's publisher William Gaines, and to what extent these inquiries were part of a broad-based cultural crusade in which a perceived slippage of cultural values was counteracted by an imposition of regulatory strictures.

To illustrate this argument, this study also chronicles relevant aspects of …

The Abrasiveness Of Sheer Overlay Fabrics Used In Textile Conservation, Donna Fulkerson Lavallee

Open Access Master's Theses

Fragile fabrics in textile collections are subject to deterioration due to use, exhibition, and improper storage conditions. Textile conservators often sew sheer fabrics as overlays directly over weakened fabrics to protect them from abrasion and to help maintain the integrity of the objects. Conservators rely on subjective opinions about fabric properties in choosing materials for their overlay treatments because objective data are not available. Textile properties, such as abrasiveness, of sheer overlay fabrics play a role in the success of conservation treatments over time.

A survey of textile conservators provided data about the use of overlay fabrics including criteria for …

The Current State Of Advance Directive Law In Ohio: More Protective Of Provider Liability Than Patients Rights, Marie Ortman

Journal of Law and Health

Ohio has adopted the Modified Uniform Rights of the Terminally Ill Act which governs the use and execution of written advance directives as expressions of a patient's desire to consent to or refuse future medical treatment. However, the Act also includes a provision that grants both civil and criminal immunity to health care providers who do not comply with a person's written advance directive. Unfortunately, because of the grant of civil and criminal immunity encompassed within the adopted written advance directive statutes, Ohio law today does not afford any greater protection of a patient's right to refuse medical treatment at …

A More Porous Postmodernity: Absurdity, Politics, Consumerism And The Cultural Authority Of Spongebob Squarepants, Annie Gaus

Honors Papers

In the wake of the recent election, there's been some talk of healing, but until today no single figure has emerged with the capacity to repair the deep fissures in the body politic. We are so hung up on blue states and red states that our only hope may lie in the primary color that has been left off the map. We need something-or someone-yellow, and also absorbent and porous enough to soak up the ill will and scrub away the lingering bad feelings...Now more than ever, the country needs Spongebob Squarepants."

In his New York Times film review of …

Reading And Teaching Third World Women's Literature In The First World: Colonialism And Feminism In Crick Crack, Monkey And Nervous Conditions, Elvie Miller

Honors Papers

In this essay, I examine two novels by Third World women writers, with a view to exploring how to read and teach Third World texts in a First World context. Teaching these (and other Third World texts), I contend, must entail negotiating their status as "other" to First-World, Western texts and must include recognizing this status as imposed by the First World readership and as a heuristic to develop an understanding and a pedagogy that is able critically to examine the First World or West's naturalizations of its own pedagogical and knowledge-based claims. To do this, I focus specifically on …

A Comparison Of Decontextualized And Contextualized Reading Skills In Persons With Severe Aphasia, Carey Smith

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A repeated measures comparative design compared the reading comprehension accuracy scores of three participants across two conditions: Condition A -- Decontextualized Stimulus Reading Task (DSRT), resembling traditional reading therapy, and Condition B -- Contextual Choice Reading Conversation (CCRC) with a communication partner. In the DSRT condition, participants read a sentence-length question prior to selecting one of 3-to-5 printed responses with no supports. In CCRC, partners presented graphic sentence stimuli representing conversational questions and response choices with the following supports: simultaneous auditory input, supplemental drawings or gestures, natural repetitions, consistent topic, and conversational order. Experimental conditions were administered in counterbalanced order …
