When Life Really Is A Stage: A Test Of Objectification Theory Using Dancers And Non-Dancers, Megan Duesterhaus
When Life Really Is A Stage: A Test Of Objectification Theory Using Dancers And Non-Dancers, Megan Duesterhaus
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study tested a model of objectification theory proposed by Fredrickson and Roberts (1997) as it applies to disordered eating in a sample of dancers and non-dancers. The methods in this study are based on a previous test of objectification theory done by Tiggeman and Slater (2001). Two samples of participants were given a survey to measure self-objectification and its anticipated consequences. The first sample included 155 women who participated in either ballet, modern, jazz, or hip-hop dance. The second sample included 199 women enrolled in undergraduate classes at the University of Central Florida during the fall semester of 2004. …
Preferred Habitat For Liquidity In International Short-Term Interest Rates, Vladimir Valeryevich Kotomin
Preferred Habitat For Liquidity In International Short-Term Interest Rates, Vladimir Valeryevich Kotomin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
U.S. money market securities have been found to exhibit behavior consistent with preferred habitat for liquidity around year-ends (Griffiths and Winters (1997, 2004)). In particular, repurchase agreement and commercial paper yields tend to increase when the security begins to mature across the end of the year, and return to normal levels after the year-end obligations have been paid but before the calendar year-end. The competing hypothesis, window dressing by financial intermediaries around disclosure dates, requires that the increase in yields be sustained until after the turn of the year. This study is aimed at finding whether the behavior of international …
Copyright Infringement In The Indian Film Industry, Rachana Desai
Copyright Infringement In The Indian Film Industry, Rachana Desai
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
This Note focuses on the largest of these industries: Bollywood, the center of Hindi language cinema. In recent years, nearly eight out of every ten Bollywood scripts have been inspired by one or more Hollywood films. Previously, this widespread problem was not visible to those outside of India. The emergence of the internet and better global communications, however, have made Westerners more aware of the cultural copy situation in India. In 2003, best-selling fiction writer Barbara Taylore-Bradford brought a copyright infringement suit against Sahara Television for allegedly making a television series out of her book "A Woman of Substance." After …
Why Is Betamax An Anachronism In The Digital Age?, Jiarui Liu
Why Is Betamax An Anachronism In The Digital Age?, Jiarui Liu
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
This Article aims to examine whether, as some courts indicate, the Sony doctrine is largely irrelevant in cyberspace. If the answer is no, how should courts properly apply the Sony doctrine to protect copyright holders' legitimate interests and further the innovation and prosperity of Internet technologies? This Article argues that the Sony doctrine should be given the widest application possible and not be subject to any preconceived formula. In the digital age, the test of "capable of substantial noninfringing uses" is still well suited to advance the ultimate objective of copyright law contemplated by the Supreme Court as well as …
Digital Music Sampling And Copyright Law, Carlos Ruiz De La Torre
Digital Music Sampling And Copyright Law, Carlos Ruiz De La Torre
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
Copyright law governing digital music sampling is faced with two competing interests: first, the owners of recording and composition copyrights need to be reasonably compensated when their creative works are reused by sampling artists, but secondly, sampling artists should have a reasonable degree of freedom to rework fragments of existing recordings at a reasonable cost. A system needs to balance these interests and reduce the degree of uncertainty that arises when the use of a sample infringes a copyright. This Article will discuss the current state of the law as it relates to digital sampling and will then articulate five …

Protecting The Future: A Strategy For Creating Laws Not Constrained By Technological Obsolescence, Jay Campbell
Protecting The Future: A Strategy For Creating Laws Not Constrained By Technological Obsolescence, Jay Campbell
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
This note will examine the obsolescence of laws through the lens of recent cases relating to "wiretapping laws" and propose the creation of laws that protect certain rights independent of technology. Recently, a number of courts have held that laws created in the mid-1980's to protect communications do not apply to Internet-related communications, reasoning that the method of transmission falls outside the language of the statutes. As a result, e-mail and other forms of Internet-based communications are treated differently from older forms of communication such as telephone conversations. This note will propose a broad legislative solution with the aim of …
Arresting Vaulting Pole Technology, Russ Versteeg
Arresting Vaulting Pole Technology, Russ Versteeg
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
Generally speaking, sports rules perform at least six functions, many of which overlap. Sports rules: 1) define the game; 2) promote safety; 3) prohibit unfair advantage; 4) promote administrative efficiency; 5) foster good sportsmanship; and, 6) promote fairness. Presumably, as sports evolve, rule makers must seriously consider at least two important questions when deciding how to respond to any given technological innovation that affects a sport. They must consider its potential impact on the integrity of the sport (i.e., how it affects both the definition of the game as well as whether it creates an unfair advantage and/or otherwise hinders …

Race And The California Recall: A Top Ten List Of Ironies, Steven W. Bender, Keith Aoki, Sylvia Lazos
Race And The California Recall: A Top Ten List Of Ironies, Steven W. Bender, Keith Aoki, Sylvia Lazos
Faculty Articles
Arnold Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California in the 2003 recall campaign is rife with cruel ironies. An immigrant himself, he beat the grandson of Mexican immigrants, Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante, by playing the race card, and managed to dodge allegations of his praise for Hitler as a strong leader. While the pundits say that the California recall was about angry voters lashing back at faithless, self-dealing politicians, more lurks beneath the surface. In California, racial and ethnic minorities now comprise a majority of the population, and the recall election brought barely concealed and seething schisms to the surface. Californians, …
Leveling The Playing Field: A New Theory Of Exclusion For A Post-Patriot Act America, Christian Halliburton
Leveling The Playing Field: A New Theory Of Exclusion For A Post-Patriot Act America, Christian Halliburton
Faculty Articles
This article takes the position that, although the PATRIOT Act is superficially unrelated to the specifics of the exclusionary rule, such a drastic departure from constitutional norms would not have been possible had the Court not conditioned the Fourth Amendment exclusionary rule's operation on pursuit of the inherently unstable target of institutional deterrence. Part I of this article will trace the development of the Fourth Amendment's exclusionary rule from its origins in federal court through its incorporation against the states, paying particular attention to the underlying purpose of the exclusionary rule as announced by the Court, and concluding with a …
Toward Reconciliation In The Middle East: A Framework For Christian-Muslim Dialogue Using Natural Law Tradition, Russell Powell
Toward Reconciliation In The Middle East: A Framework For Christian-Muslim Dialogue Using Natural Law Tradition, Russell Powell
Faculty Articles
In this paper, Professor Powell argues that the thinking of Bernard Lonergan in light of the natural law insights of St. Thomas Aquinas, Ali Ezzati and Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im provides a framework for Christian-Muslim dialogue. Lonergan's transcendental method moves from the individual subject to universal insights rather than presuming to deduce universals a priori, without regard for history, culture and individual experience. Professor Powell asserts that the most fruitful starting place for meaningful dialogue is to address questions of human rights and social justice using natural law theory, rather than focusing on theological concerns. If Muslims and Christians mutually acknowledge …
Walking While Muslim, Margaret Chon, Donna E. Arzt
Walking While Muslim, Margaret Chon, Donna E. Arzt
Faculty Articles
In the post-9/11 era, what exactly is meant by race? This essay claims that both domestic civil rights law and international human rights law simultaneously create and obscure racial identity increasingly constructed through Muslim religious identity. The argument unfolds in several parts. First, by analogy to the racial formation process that occurred with the Japanese American community after World War II, we argue that a group's religious identity can contribute to the perception of a group as a racially different and inferior "other." Second, among other elements, religious identity is under-analyzed as a key element of racial formation. Third, post-9/11 …

In this review, the author expresses praise for DHSC 7, a document that covers court cases from 1796 to 1797. It highlights various particular cases while noting how effectively they are examined. Ultimately, the review advocates that students of legal history should consider the DHSC 7.

Comparison Of Accuracy Captured By Different Controlled Languages In Oral Pathology Diagnoses, Jung-Wei Chen, Catherine Flaitz, Todd Johnson
Comparison Of Accuracy Captured By Different Controlled Languages In Oral Pathology Diagnoses, Jung-Wei Chen, Catherine Flaitz, Todd Johnson
Faculty, Staff and Student Publications
This project was comparing the accuracy of capturing the oral pathology diagnoses among different coding systems. 55 diagnoses were selected for comparison among 5 coding systems. The results of accuracy in capturing oral diagnoses are: AFIP (96.4%), followed by Read 99 (85.5%), SNOMED 98 (74.5%), ICD-9 (43.6%), and CDT-3 (14.5%). It shows that the currently used coding systems, ICD-9 and CDT-3, were inadequate, whereas the AFIP coding system captured the majority of oral diagnoses. In conclusion, the most commonly used medical and dental coding systems lack terms for the diagnosis of oral and dental conditions.
The Labor Dimension Of The Emerging Free Trade Area Of The Americas, Steve Charnovitz
The Labor Dimension Of The Emerging Free Trade Area Of The Americas, Steve Charnovitz
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
This study explores a potential labor dimension for the FTAA. The study is divided into four parts: Part 1 provides context by reviewing the history of Inter-American economic cooperation, especially on labor and trade. Part 2 examines how labor has been addressed in the major free trade agreements of the Americas. Part 3 looks at the normative basis for international labor cooperation. Part 4 makes specific recommendations for addressing labor issues in the FTAA. The ideas in Part 4 seek to stimulate practical, concerted action to address labor and employment problems of regional economic integration. My recommendations for the FTAA …

Spectacle Of Self In Medieval Romance: Pagentry, Performance, And Clothing, Crady Yerger Bobo
Honors Theses
My thesis focuses on young knights finding their identity. I concentrate on six works, The Story of the Grail, Havelok the Dane, Sir Gareth of Orkeney, Guigemar, Sir Launfal, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and how the various romancers define identity thematically. This occurs in three dififerent ways: with Perceval it is through education, Havelok and Gareth start out as kitchen boys, prove their inherent identity, and are thus self-inventing knights, and for Guigemar, Launfal, and Perceval it is about having their sexuality challenged. I also try in each chapter to give some historical background on the reason …

Should Lawyers Participate In Rigged Systems: The Case Of The Military Commissions, Mary M. Cheh
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
Lawyers often represent clients when the odds are long or a catastrophe likely. The facts might be harmful, the evidence overwhelming, or the law clearly on the side of the opponent. Still, we do the best we can. But what if the system is rigged? What if the system has the trappings of a fair fight, but is, in fact, skewed to one side and, by design, the lawyer cannot fully defend the client? What if the lawyer can only lend legitimacy to a process that at its core is biased, slanted in favor of the other side, or fundamentally …
