Prolegomenon To A Pedestrian Cartography Of Mixed Legal Jurisdictions: The Case Of Israel/Palestine, Susan G. Drummond
Prolegomenon To A Pedestrian Cartography Of Mixed Legal Jurisdictions: The Case Of Israel/Palestine, Susan G. Drummond
Articles & Book Chapters
The relationship between cartography and law provides a unique focus through which to examine mixed legal jurisdictions. Through an exploration of the various uses of law, cartography, and nation building, the author postulates that mixed legal jurisdictions are created through the subtle incorporation of the originally unfamiliar “Other”. In Canada, European settlers asserted sovereignty through the mapping and naming of territory in ways that did not accord with traditional Aboriginal patterns of usage or conceptualizations of space. The eventual creation of a legal middle ground between these peoples, as articulated by Richard White, is the basis of the author’s analysis …
Madly Off In One Direction: Mcgill’S New Integrated, Poly-Jural, Trans-Systemic Law Program, Harry W. Arthurs
Madly Off In One Direction: Mcgill’S New Integrated, Poly-Jural, Trans-Systemic Law Program, Harry W. Arthurs
Articles & Book Chapters
In 1994, the McGill Faculty of Law organized a two-day faculty retreat, seeking to lay the foundations of a new curriculum. This desire was in part a response to the contradictions inherent to the faculty, but also stemmed from a deep-seated preoccupation with ‘polyjurality’, non-state normativity, transnational legal systems, and legal theory—a preoccupation that dates back to its origins, over 150 years ago. The author, while praising McGill's efforts at reinventing itself, laments a certain reserve toward interdisciplinarity. He conjectures that at least some understand the teaching of polyjurality and transsystemic law as a project that is largely concerned with …
Measurement Equivalence Of The Center For Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale For Latino And Anglo Adolescents: A National Study, Lisa J. Crockett, Brandy A. Randall, Yuh-Ling Shen, S T. Russell, Anne K. Driscoll
Measurement Equivalence Of The Center For Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale For Latino And Anglo Adolescents: A National Study, Lisa J. Crockett, Brandy A. Randall, Yuh-Ling Shen, S T. Russell, Anne K. Driscoll
Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications
The cross-ethnic measurement equivalence of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D; L. S. Radloff, 1977) was examined using a subsample of adolescents (N = 10,691) from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, Configural and metric invariance, as well as functional and scalar equivalence, were examined for Anglo American, Mexican American, Cuban American, and Puerto Rican American youths age 12-18 years. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in each group provided evidence of configural invariance for European and Mexican American adolescents but not for Cuban and Puerto Rican youths. A 2-group CFA for Anglo and Mexican Americans demonstrated partial metric …
Power And The Creation Of Patronizing Environments: The Stereotype-Based Behaviors Of The Powerful And Their Effects On Female Performance In Masculine Domains, Theresa Vescio, Sarah J. Gervais, Mark Snyder, Ann Hoover
Power And The Creation Of Patronizing Environments: The Stereotype-Based Behaviors Of The Powerful And Their Effects On Female Performance In Masculine Domains, Theresa Vescio, Sarah J. Gervais, Mark Snyder, Ann Hoover
Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications
This work tested the following hypothesis: When powerful men stereotype their female subordinates in masculine domains, they behave in patronizing ways that affect the performance of their subordinates. Experiment 1 examined the stereotyping tendencies and patronizing behaviors of the powerful. Findings revealed that powerful men who stereotyped their female subordinates (i.e., those who were weakness focused) gave female subordinates few valued resources but much praise. In Experiment 2, low-power participants received resources (valued or devalued positions) and praise (high or low) from a powerful man. Subordinates who were assigned to a devalued position but received high praise (i.e., the patronizing …
Developmental Stability And Change In Self-Regulation From Childhood To Adolescence, Marcela Raffaelli, Lisa Crockett, Yuh-Ling Shen
Developmental Stability And Change In Self-Regulation From Childhood To Adolescence, Marcela Raffaelli, Lisa Crockett, Yuh-Ling Shen
Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications
The authors examined the developmental course of self-regulation in a cohort of children from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The longitudinal sample included 646 children (48% girls; 52% boys; 36.2% Black, 23.4% Hispanic, 40.4% White) who were 4 to 5 years old in 1986 and who were followed up at ages 8 to 9 and ages 12 to 13. Levels of self-regulation (assessed with 12 maternal-report items that measured regulation of affect, behavior, attention) increased from early childhood (when sample children were 4 or 5 years old) to middle childhood (ages 8 or 9), but not from middle childhood …
Mixed Methods Research Designs In Counseling Psychology, William E. Hanson, John W. Creswell, Vicki L. Plano Clark, Kelly S. Petska, J. David Creswell
Mixed Methods Research Designs In Counseling Psychology, William E. Hanson, John W. Creswell, Vicki L. Plano Clark, Kelly S. Petska, J. David Creswell
Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications
With the increased popularity of qualitative research, researchers in counseling psychology are expanding their methodologies to include mixed methods designs. These designs involve the collection, analysis, and integration of quantitative and qualitative data in a single or multiphase study. This article presents an overview of mixed methods research designs. It defines mixed methods research, discusses its origins and philosophical basis, advances steps and procedures used in these designs, and identifies 6 different types of designs. Important design features are illustrated using studies published in the counseling literature. Finally, the article ends with recommendations for designing, implementing, and reporting mixed methods …
Beyond Patents: The Cultural Life Of Native Healing And The Limitations Of The Patent System As A Protective Mechanism For Indigenous Knowledge On The Medicinal Uses Of Plants, Ikechi Mgbeoji
Articles & Book Chapters
In the past decade, indigenous knowledge systems have witnessed a belated renaissance, both in policy instruments of international organizations and in some international law agreements. In the progressive emancipation of indigenous knowledge systems, two key issues have arisen. The first is the controversial appropriation of various products, innovations, art forms, and intellectual property of indigenous knowledge systems. A particularly contested aspect of this phenomenon has been characterized as biopiracy. The second closely related issue is whether dominant regimes for the protection of intellectual property are compatible with indigenous knowledge systems.
Parental Responsibility Statutes: An Organization And Policy Implications, Eve M. Brank, Stephanie Carsten Kucera, Stephanie A. Hays
Parental Responsibility Statutes: An Organization And Policy Implications, Eve M. Brank, Stephanie Carsten Kucera, Stephanie A. Hays
Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications
We find ourselves at a confusing time in the history of juvenile justice. As a nation, we are transferring children into an adult system at a greater rate than we have ever seen before. Public response urges that juveniles be locked away not only to punish them, but also to keep the public safe. The public views these delinquent children as a threat and something to fear. Legislators respond to the public fear with more liberal transfer options into the adult system and punitive juvenile sanctions within the juvenile system. If a juvenile escapes transfer into the adult system, then …
Relationship Between Parent Satisfaction Regarding Partnerships With Professionals And Age Of Child, Jean Ann Summers, Lesa Hoffman, Janet Marquis, Ann Turnbull, Denise Poston
Relationship Between Parent Satisfaction Regarding Partnerships With Professionals And Age Of Child, Jean Ann Summers, Lesa Hoffman, Janet Marquis, Ann Turnbull, Denise Poston
Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications
In the past, the assessment of families’ satisfaction with the quality of their partnerships with the professionals who serve their children has been restricted to specific programs or age groups, precluding investigation of the relationship between parents’ perspectives on satisfaction and the importance of partnership components for children at different ages. Differences in policies, service models, and family needs at different life-cycle stages suggest a need to understand how satisfaction might differ among parents of children of different ages. In this study, 147 parents completed the Beach Center Family-Professional Partnership Scale to describe the perceived importance of and satisfaction with …
Modeling Basketball Free Throws, Andrew Lang, Joerg M. Gablonsky
Modeling Basketball Free Throws, Andrew Lang, Joerg M. Gablonsky
College of Science and Engineering Faculty Research and Scholarship
This paper presents a mathematical model for basketball free throws. It is intended to be a supplement to an existing calculus course and could easily be used as a basis for a calculus project. Students will learn how to apply calculus to model an interesting real-world problem, from problem identification all the way through to interpretation and verification. Along the way we will introduce topics such as optimization (univariate and multiobjective), numerical methods, and differential equations.
Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik’S ‘Confrontation’: A Reassessment, Marshall J. Breger
Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik’S ‘Confrontation’: A Reassessment, Marshall J. Breger
Scholarly Articles
Responding to a recent symposium on Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik's 1964 article on the propriety of Christian-Jewish dialogue, this essay begins by assessing several arguments put forth by Soloveitchik. These include the incommensurability of religious faith, the risks interreligious dialogue presents to the Jewish minority, the dangers of syncretism, and the ability to separate neatly the sacred and the profane. The article then proceeds to discuss the nature of Catholic-Jewish today, and concludes with thoughts about the future of Christian and Jewish interaction.
Pay For Short-Term Performance: Executive Compensation In Speculative Markets, Patrick Bolton, José Scheinkman, Wei Xiong
Pay For Short-Term Performance: Executive Compensation In Speculative Markets, Patrick Bolton, José Scheinkman, Wei Xiong
Center for Contract and Economic Organization
We argue that the root cause behind the recent corporate scandals associated with CEO pay is the technology bubble of the latter half of the 1990s. Far from rejecting the optimal incentive contracting theory of executive compensation, the recent evidence on executive pay can be reconciled with classical agency theory once one expands the framework to allow for speculative stock markets.

The Role Of Gender And Race In Determining Returns To Higher Education: Evidence From Annual Demographic Survey, Gayatri Rajendra Deshpande
Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)
This study’s objective is to determine the net present values (NPV) of both a master’s degree and Ph.D. degree for six demographic categories. One of the purposes of this study is to determine whether from a social perspective a master’s and Ph.D. degree should be pursued. Cost/benefit analysis is performed to determine whether social benefits exceed social costs of these degree programs. The goal is to determine whether it is advantageous to society to obtain more education. A second and equally important purpose of this study is to determine the role of gender and race in establishing returns to higher …
Towards Wide-Field Display Of The Gripen Hud Interface To Combat Spatial Disorientation, Lars Eriksson, Katarina Undén, Claes Von Hofsten
Towards Wide-Field Display Of The Gripen Hud Interface To Combat Spatial Disorientation, Lars Eriksson, Katarina Undén, Claes Von Hofsten
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
The head-up display (HUD) interface of the Gripen fighter aircraft utilizes a sphere concept for supporting attitude awareness or spatial orientation (SO). With the sphere interface fixed to the gravitational vertical and the attitude variant aircraft positioned in the center of the sphere, the HUD field-of-regard scans parts of the sphere inside. The HUD interface depicts segments of latitude circles with meridian markings that convey integrated information of pitch, roll, and yaw. To enhance pilot-in-the-loop maneuvering and SO we suggest a wide field-of-view interface design of the Gripen concept, emphasizing the inclusion of peripheral vision. The suggested interface is subsequently …
A Conceptual Framework For Studying Safety Climate And Culture Of Commercial Airlines, Dr. Sharon Glazer, Amber R. Laurel, Rangapriya Kanan Narasimhan
A Conceptual Framework For Studying Safety Climate And Culture Of Commercial Airlines, Dr. Sharon Glazer, Amber R. Laurel, Rangapriya Kanan Narasimhan
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
A comprehensive safety climate and safety culture framework, which can be utilized to assess various predictors and consequences of safety climate and to assess airline’s safety culture in relation to one another, is presented. The framework depicts a process whereby individual, group, and organizational predictor variables, through perceived safety climate, affect first level outcomes. First level outcomes can lead to direct costs for the organization, as well as lowered productivity. In the framework, individual and environment variables are purported to moderate the relationship between work-related events and safety climate. Motivation is also expected to mediate the relationships between predictors and …
Distributed Air / Ground Traffic Management En Route Free Maneuvering Rules Of The Road: Requirements And Implementation For A Simulation Of En-Route Self-Separation, Nancy H. Johnson, Riva Canton, Vernol Battiste, Walter Johnson
Distributed Air / Ground Traffic Management En Route Free Maneuvering Rules Of The Road: Requirements And Implementation For A Simulation Of En-Route Self-Separation, Nancy H. Johnson, Riva Canton, Vernol Battiste, Walter Johnson
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Distributed Air Ground Traffic Management (DAG-TM) program has recently investigated a concept called “En-route Free Maneuvering” as a proposed solution for expanding airspace capacity limits. A critical element for this concept is conflict detection and resolution (CD&R) using the 3D cockpit situation display (CSD). The only fielded system performing some of this function is the Traffic Alert & Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), a radar-based alerting system used by most commercial aircraft for collision detection and avoidance. TCAS is inappropriate for an en-route self-separation application due to its reactive nature, and inherent lack of flexibility. …
Redefining Crm, J. Norman Komich
Redefining Crm, J. Norman Komich
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
The recent revision (120-51E, dated 1/22/04) to the Crew Resource Management Training Advisory Circular failed to provide a specific definition of CRM. This void is an issue with those who agree with Montaigne when he observed “No wind favors the sailing ship without a destined port.” Since its inception over twenty five years ago, CRM has undergone considerable evolution and the industry now finds itself in the seventh or eighth “Generation” of CRM training. Interestingly, in the very first Advisory Circular (120-51A) the following statement was made: “The essence of CRM training is to reduce error in the cockpit.” In …

Maintaining Aircraft Orientation Awareness With Audio Displays, Kristen K. Liggett Ph.D., Peter Venero, Martin N. Anesgart Ph.D.
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
This study was conducted to determine an appropriate task with which to test alternative orientation display formats, and to test a preliminary set of audio orientation symbology sets. Participants were required to perform three tasks simultaneously. The first task was a visual search (target designation) task. The second task was a radar monitoring task. Both of these tasks were performed on a head-down display. The third task consisted of monitoring aircraft orientation on a head-up display. The third task employed the study’s one independent variable – orientation symbology sets. When performing the aircraft orientation task, orientation was displayed in three …
A Systematic Approach To Addressing Human Factors Considerations In The Design Of Flight Deck Components, Beth Lyall Ph.D., Greg Harron M.S.
A Systematic Approach To Addressing Human Factors Considerations In The Design Of Flight Deck Components, Beth Lyall Ph.D., Greg Harron M.S.
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
The FAA Aircraft Certification Job Aid for Flight Deck Human Factors is a decision-support tool for addressing human factors considerations during the flight deck design portion of the aircraft certification process. The current version presents decision-support information related to the review of flight deck displays, controls, and systems. This tool provides a systematic approach for assessing human factors considerations related to the design of flight deck components.
The Relationship Between Controller Opinions And Use Of An Atc Decision Support Tool, Carol A. Manning, Melanie Dennis
The Relationship Between Controller Opinions And Use Of An Atc Decision Support Tool, Carol A. Manning, Melanie Dennis
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between controllers’ opinions about the User Request Evaluation Tool (URET), an air traffic control decision support tool, and their use of various URET functions, including its flight data management capabilities, conflict prediction information, and problem-solving tools (e.g., trial planning). We expected that, compared with those who were less positive about URET, controllers who rated the tool more positively would use it more often in performing sector team duties. In 2002, formal observations were made of 181 en route controllers using URET at six facilities. URET display settings, usage, and use …
Team Coordination In Uav Operations, Harry K. Pedersen, Nancy J. Cooke
Team Coordination In Uav Operations, Harry K. Pedersen, Nancy J. Cooke
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
The term “unmanned” in the context of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations is too often taken literally, overlooking the humans controlling, monitoring, collaborating, and coordinating from the ground. Promoting and improving the performance of the human component in the operation of UAVs is paramount and enhancing the coordination of the humans in the system is one of many important human factors issues which must be overcome. Research from the Cognitive Engineering on Team Tasks Laboratory has approached this problem with the development of a synthetic test-bed replicating UAV coordination in the lab. Findings from this synthetic task environment (STE) will …
Near-To-Eye Display And Augmented Reality Concepts For Air Traffic Tower Controllers: Issues And Challenges, Dr. John W. Ruffner, Dr. Jim E. Fulbrook, Marc Foglia
Near-To-Eye Display And Augmented Reality Concepts For Air Traffic Tower Controllers: Issues And Challenges, Dr. John W. Ruffner, Dr. Jim E. Fulbrook, Marc Foglia
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
Tower controllers are responsible for maintaining safe separation between airborne aircraft in the airport traffic control area, and separation between aircraft, equipment, and personnel on the airport surface. In this paper, we summarize recent work to develop and evaluate user-acceptable hardware and software solutions that will reduce diversions and augment or enhance controller capabilities, especially in limited visibility conditions. We characterized controller tasks where a near-to-eye display and augmented reality techniques can aid controller performance, and identified form factor variables that influence user acceptability of hardware configurations. We developed an out-the-window concept of operation and analyzed the hardware requirements and …
Implementing Electronic Flight Data In Airport Traffic Control Towers, Todd R. Truitt Ph.D.
Implementing Electronic Flight Data In Airport Traffic Control Towers, Todd R. Truitt Ph.D.
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating the potential effects of implementing electronic flight data systems (EFDSs) at Airport Traffic Control Towers (ATCTs). I use existing task analyses, published literature, and recent field observation data to determine the basic functionality of flight progress strips (FPSs) in the ATCT. I identify gaps in the research and formed a general set of principles to guide the design of an EFDS prototype. Given the proper application of principles for design and automation, the EFDS should maintain some of the basic functionality and benefits of the FPSs, reduce workload related to flight data entry, …
Capturing The Research And Development Process Of Aviation Systems: Creating A Multi-Media Living Legacy, Anthony D. Andre, Becky L. Hooey, David C. Foyle
Capturing The Research And Development Process Of Aviation Systems: Creating A Multi-Media Living Legacy, Anthony D. Andre, Becky L. Hooey, David C. Foyle
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
Too often, successful system development projects fail to leave a legacy of design transfer information, beyond providing access to the mere physical descriptions of the system, or the software code itself. Yet, information about high-level design decisions, assumptions, constraints, philosophies and methodologies is often sought after by system designers, engineers, and researchers alike. Such information is critical for facilitating an understanding of the design and evaluation decisions that underlie the final design. In contrast, published articles about a given complex system are usually limited to discussions of experimental results and in applicability beyond the academic and research community. This paper …

Discovering Informative Subgraphs In Rdf Graphs, William H. Milnor, Cartic Ramakrishnan, Matthew Perry, Amit P. Sheth, John A. Miller, Krzysztof Kochut
Kno.e.sis Publications
Discovering patterns in graphs has long been an area of interest. In most contemporary approaches to such pattern discovery either quantitative anomalies or frequency of substructure is used to measure the interestingness of a pattern. In this paper we address the issue of discovering informative sub-graphs within RDF graphs. We motivate our work with an example related to Semantic Search. A user might pose a question of the form: ' What are the most relevant ways in which entity X is related to entity Y?' the response to which is a subgraph connecting X to Y. Relevance of the …
A Comparison Of Saint With Imprint And Micro Saint Sharp, Gerald P. Chubb
A Comparison Of Saint With Imprint And Micro Saint Sharp, Gerald P. Chubb
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
SAINT was a hybrid modeling and simulation language developed in FORTRAN for main frame computers that allowed simulation of human activities in the context of system operation. MicroSaint was initially developed in the C language, specifically for Personal Computers (PCs), mimicking much but not all of what was in the original FORTRAN version. IMPRINT Version 7 uses Micro Saint IV as its underlying computational engine. MicroSaint Sharp is based on the C# programming language and will be the computational engine underlying IMPRINT Version 8. Representational capabilities of these various modeling techniques are compared to illustrate what improvements have been made …
Safety Attitudes In The Aviation System: Influences Of A Highly Regulated Environment, Teresa C. D'Oliveira
Safety Attitudes In The Aviation System: Influences Of A Highly Regulated Environment, Teresa C. D'Oliveira
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005
Although safety is considered paramount in the aviation industry, very few studies have explored the influence that such a highly regulated environment may have on safety attitudes. This paper explores how perceptions and attitudes may be influenced by context characteristics and analyses how a highly regulated context, such as the aviation industry, compares with other industries. Results suggest that the aviation industry seems to be centered on individual behaviors and attitudes towards safety; in contrast other industries highlight safety at the organizational level. Implications of these results and repercussions of national safety campaigns to promote safety at the workplace are …
A Proactive Strategy For Teaching Evolution, Lawrence C. Scharmann
A Proactive Strategy For Teaching Evolution, Lawrence C. Scharmann
Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications
Biology teachers are fortunate when topics to be addressed possess inherent qualities that interest students. Classical genetics rarely fails to interest secondary school students because it is introduced at a time when they are self-absorbed with their nascent physical characteristics, emerging sexuality, and/or future athlet- ic potential. A topic like genetics is always an easier sell than would be taxonomy, for instance. How should one treat topics that traditionally are tougher to teach? A simple but effective method for self-assessing readiness to teach a particular topic is to be prepared to respond to the questions, "Why do I have to …

Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications
Imagine a language portfolio that provides a context for students and teachers to document and analyze learning progress. Students set learning goals, review and reflect on these goals regularly, and track their own learning to self-assess their progress. Teachers review the portfolio, measure student achievement, and plan curriculum to meet the needs of their students. How can such a portfolio be integrated into the classroom? What are the benefits of using a portfolio? This article addresses these two questions and describes the Nebraska and Kentucky LinguaFolio project aimed at improving student achievement and teacher quality through the integration of a …
