Perceptions Of Crime, Fear Of Crime, And Defensible Space In Fort Worth Neighborhoods, Bonnie R. Grohe Dec 2006

Perceptions Of Crime, Fear Of Crime, And Defensible Space In Fort Worth Neighborhoods, Bonnie R. Grohe

Public Affairs Dissertations - Archive

This research used descriptive, written scenarios to test the perceptions of crime, fear of crime, and defensible space of residents in three Fort Worth, Texas, neighborhood associations. The survey instrument included two different measures of fear of crime: 1) fear of crime in hypothetical scenarios, and 2) fear of crime in resident's own neighborhoods to examine whether residents who were fearful in their own neighborhood also reported high levels of fear in hypothetical neighbor¬hoods. The instrument also tested whether residents perceived certain neighborhoods as defensible and if residents recognized what crime prevention scholars defined as "safe" environments. The multiple regression …

A Simple Numerical Method Of Cycle Jumps For Cyclically Loaded Structures, D. Cojocaru, Anette M. Karlsson Dec 2006

A Simple Numerical Method Of Cycle Jumps For Cyclically Loaded Structures, D. Cojocaru, Anette M. Karlsson

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

A method for accelerated numerical simulations of structures subjected to cyclic loading is investigated. Of particular interest is a class of structures where the structural properties evolve with time. The proposed method is based on conducting detailed finite element analysis for a set of cycles to establish a trend line, extrapolating the trend line spanning many cycles, and use the extrapolated state as initial state for additional FEA simulations. This includes a control function that automatically monitors the length of the cycle jump to ensure a realistic solution. We compare the proposed method to a reference calculation, where all incremental …

Original Investigation Correlated Joint Fluctuations Can Influence The Selection Of Steady State Gait Patterns In The Elderly, Max J. Kurz, Nikolaos Stergiou Dec 2006

Original Investigation Correlated Joint Fluctuations Can Influence The Selection Of Steady State Gait Patterns In The Elderly, Max J. Kurz, Nikolaos Stergiou

Journal Articles

This investigation utilized a Markov model to investigate the relationship of correlated lower extremity joint fluctuations and the selection of a steady state gait pattern in the young and elderly. Our model simulated the neuromuscular system by predicting the behavior of the joints for the next gait cycle based on the behavior exhibited in the preceding gait cycles. Such dependencies in the joint fluctuations have been noted previously in the literature. We speculated that compared to the young model, the characteristics of the correlated fluctuations in the elderly model would result in the selection of a different steady state gait …

A Soft Landing, Steady Growth, And Accelerating Farm Income, John Austin, Chris Decker, Tom Doering, Ernie Goss, Nick Hernandez, Bruce Johnson, Ken Lemke, Franz Schwarz, Scott Strain, Eric Thompson, Keith Turner Dec 2006

A Soft Landing, Steady Growth, And Accelerating Farm Income, John Austin, Chris Decker, Tom Doering, Ernie Goss, Nick Hernandez, Bruce Johnson, Ken Lemke, Franz Schwarz, Scott Strain, Eric Thompson, Keith Turner

Economics Faculty Publications

After years of accelerating growth, the U.S. economy achieved a soft landing in 2006. The rate of economic growth remained positive but slowed sufficiently to reduce inflation pressures and the need for further interest rate increases. At the same time the economy remained strong enough to continue the current expansion which has been in place since late 2001. Such a soft landing is vital because it should allow the economy to continue to expand for years to come, but with moderate inflation.

Immigration And Editorial Page Policy: A Case Study Of The Dallas Morning News, Anthony Ellis Hartzel Dec 2006

Immigration And Editorial Page Policy: A Case Study Of The Dallas Morning News, Anthony Ellis Hartzel

Public Affairs Theses - Archive

Newspaper editorial pages play a crucial role in democratic society, serving as forums for informed debate. On major issues such as immigration, many factors are at play when members of an editorial board sit down together to shape the institutional voice of their newspaper. Using the explanatory case study method, the author directly observes editorial board deliberations at the Dallas Morning News, and sheds light on the influences that affect those writers and editors before the paper publishes its formal positions. The thesis finds that many influences exist beyond news judgment. Those influences range from intra-group dynamics and corporate management, …

"Who Will Cry For The Little Boy?:" An Autoethnographical Analysis Of The Lived Experiences Of An Adopted Person, Timothy R. Terrentine Dec 2006

"Who Will Cry For The Little Boy?:" An Autoethnographical Analysis Of The Lived Experiences Of An Adopted Person, Timothy R. Terrentine

Masters Theses

What becomes of the little boy who knows well abandonment and pain, yet simultaneously discovers predestinated purpose and unconditional love? This autoethnographical analysis examines the life of an adopted person who has spent his developmental years dealing with specific tensions associated with adoption and all that lie within. Using relational dialectics (Baxter, 1993,2004; Baxter & Montgomery, 1998) and existing adoption research (Carp, 2003; Herman, 2003), the author weaves his story of a history of tensions, a presence of negotiated relationships, and a future of hope with emerging tensions. Through a specific process of discovery and analysis; existing as well as …

臨床技術訓練中心之創建與經營－台北榮民總醫院之經驗, 春蓮 巫, 惠文 楊, 雅琳 程, 祖裕 陳, 正典 郭, 震寰 陳, 素真 陳, 橈通 何 Dec 2006

臨床技術訓練中心之創建與經營－台北榮民總醫院之經驗, 春蓮 巫, 惠文 楊, 雅琳 程, 祖裕 陳, 正典 郭, 震寰 陳, 素真 陳, 橈通 何

Journal of Medical Education

台北榮民總醫院臨床技術訓練中心（以下簡稱本中心）於2003年2月19日正式開幕運作，至今已逾3年。在籌備、啟用，以及持續運作的幾個階段中經歷了不少障礙與困難，從而獲得一些經驗和心得，特記述於本文與同好分享。在本中心規劃籌建的過程中，首先要預估未來需要的課程，據以尋找空間、規劃間隔、廣徵人才及購買設備等，都必須具有充分的前瞻性，由於當時國內醫學教育機構尚未有可供參考的典範，故曾派員到英國利物浦大學參訪，並以其臨床技術資源中心作為設計藍圖。在人員編制方面，本中心自始即編列三位全職且在急救加護護理具有多年經驗的護理師，負責行政策劃、參與教學及課程研發等任務，確保「永續經營」的方針。空間應用則是採用多功能、人性化及便於變通的原則，以達到「地盡其利」的目標。在作業規範中對於場地及設施的使用、管理及維護均訂定詳細的規範，以期能提供「溫馨友善的學習環境」。由於本中心人員身兼行政、教學及研發等多重任務，故人員在職訓練亦成為本中心營運及發展計畫的主要部分。除人員須不斷學習之外，本中心執行之各項課程亦有持續改進的機制。

後現代主義思潮對護理課程的影響及護理教師的因應策略, 麗瑜 簡, 翠媛 黄, 秀梨 黄 Dec 2006

後現代主義思潮對護理課程的影響及護理教師的因應策略, 麗瑜 簡, 翠媛 黄, 秀梨 黄

Journal of Medical Education

強調多元開放的後現代主義正蔓延於全球社會现象中，後现代主義思潮對台灣的課程改革也產生影響。台灣過去十年來的教育改革理念引用不少後现代課程理論的歐觀點，如多元價值的尊重、教育结構的鬆绑、及教育主體性的尊重。本文旨在闡述後現代課程理讑的觀點及對當今課程改革產生的影響，借鏡九年一貫的課程改革經駙，對護理教師在面對後現代課程政策時提出因應策略上的建義。護理教師在後現代課程理論中是課程的運用者、設計者、評值者及改善者，應體訒課程改革爲時勢所趨，唯有理解以後現代課程的理念，充實相關的課程專業能力，輿志趣相投的老師合作投身課程研究，並採取合宜的步調進行課程輿教學品質的改善，才能落實課程的改革。

Journal of Medical Education

We enrolled in this study a total of 150 medical students who had been admitted from 1999 to 2004 to study at Chung Shan Medical University; 75 of these students were recruited by Recommendation (RE) and the other 75 were recruited through the Joint University Entrance Exam (JE). The number and sex ratio of each grade of JE group were randomly selected to correspond to the RE group. The aim of the study is to investigate the academic performance and behavior differences between the RE and JE groups; in addition, we designed a questionnaire for students. The questionnaire encompassed four …
