Strategies For Universal Prevention Of Depression In Adolescents., Patrick Possel

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

Background: The occurrence of depressive disorders in adolescence is of high individual and social importance because of their prevalence and persistence into adulthood and their co-morbidity with other psychological disorders and psychosocial problems. International researchers have recognized the seriousness of depressive disorders in adolescence and thus have been involved in the development and evaluation of prevention programs.

Methods: This article will present the difficulties encountered in prevention research with adolescents and in the determination of prevention program efficacy. The main focus will be an overview of current prevention programs and their efficacy with special attention paid to programs featured in …

When Messages Are The Medium: Researching Best Practices In Online Education, Sharon S. Kleinman

Iowa Journal of Communication

This paper discusses a comparative case study of online media history courses designed from the constructivist perspective (Moon, 1999). Data were collected using online participant observation, the course management systems automated tracking of students' course website usage, and online questionnaires. Data were analyzed/or insights regarding factors affecting student participation, satisfaction, and achievement. Innovative strategies for designing online learning environments that encourage interaction, active learning, and academic integrity were field-tested and critiqued. Among the innovations that shaped "classroom" dialogue and fostered an active learning community were: (1) using and publicizing the course management systems capabilities for tracking students' course website usage, …

Rhetoric, Divorce And International Human Rights: The Limits Of Divorce Reform For The Protection Of Children, Barbara Stark

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

This paper, written for a Symposium, identifies and challenges three premises contained in the Symposium's title, "Divorce Reform for the Protection of Children." First, it tacitly assumes that divorce reform can protect "children" in general, rather than a relatively small, and quite demographically distinct, population of children in particular. Second, it assumes that divorce itself poses a danger to these children. Third, it assumes that the law should step in to avert, or at least manage that danger. This paper interrogates each of these propositions. My project may strike some as painfully obvious. Of course there are bigger, broader threats …

Mend It Or End It?: The Revised Aba Capital Defense Representation Guidelines As An Opportunity To Reconsider The Death Penalty, Eric M. Freedman

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

The revised edition of the ABA's "Guidelines for the Appointment and Performance of Defense Counsel in Death Penalty Cases" offers a lens through which to consider whether retention of capital punishment is sensible public policy.

A reader of the Guidelines finds that the current death penalty system is characterized by severely impaired clients, pervasive racism, a structural bias in favor of guilty verdicts, less effective counsel than in non-capital cases, and a dysfunctional system of post-conviction review.

No amount of money can solve these problems; at best, sufficient expenditures can ameliorate them. But making even that attempt will be costly …

Method, Mediations, And The Moral Dimensions Of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, Janet L. Dolgin

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

This essay describes an approach to moral conundrums (such as those occasioned by reproductive technology, including preimplantation genetic diagnosis) in a heterogeneous society. The approach, referred to as "mediative," is designed to clarify aspects of the process of moral contemplation. It does not aim to secure any particular sort of resolution or conclusion. In this sense, the approach is not exclusively committed to any particular religious or philosophical perspective regarding bioethical questions and can most felicitously accommodate many of them.

The approach reflects an anthropological apperception: the effort to understand the Other (the stranger, the outsider, the foreigner) depends on …

Equality, Objectivity, And Neutrality, Alafair Burke

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

In her recently published book, Murder and the Reasonable Man: Passion and Fear in the Criminal Courtroom, Cynthia Lee weaves together an array of case narratives to argue that the concept of reasonableness in self-defense and provocation cases allows majority culture defendants to benefit from jurors' deeply ingrained biases. She makes her case by drawing from three categories of cases: men who claim they were provoked to kill by female infidelity; gay panic cases, in which heterosexual defendants claim self-defense or provocation from unwanted homosexual advances; and racialized fear cases, in which white defendants claim self-defense to justify the killing …

Making Spousal Estate Tax Exemptions Transferable, Mitchell M. Gans, Jonathan G. Blattmachr

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, taxpayers are permitted a federal gift tax exemption and an estate tax exemption. Although technically not exemptions but more in the nature of exemption "equivalents" that entitle taxpayers to a credit, each is more easily understood as an exemption. The gift tax exemption, as so understood, is $1 million for each taxpayer and is not scheduled to increase. The estate tax exemption, as also so understood, is $1 million for 2005 and is scheduled to become $2 million in 2006, 2007, and 2008 and reach $3.5 million in 2009. There will be no …

Examining Flow States And Motivational Perspectives Of Ashtanga Yoga Practitioners, Leslie Lynn Phillips

University of Kentucky Doctoral Dissertations

Flow state refers to an optimal psychological experience and is associated with a number of experiential qualities one of which is complete absorption in the task at hand. Self-determination theory provides a framework for examining the relation between different types of motivation and flow because it distinguishes among different forms of motivation based on the degree that they can be considered self-determined. Although flow has been studied among athletes and, to a lesser degree, exercisers, no studies have focused on the flow experiences of yoga practitioners. Yoga, which originated in India, has been gaining popularity in the United States. The …
