Biology And Management Of Plodia Interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) In Stored Products, S. Mohandass, F. H. Arthur, K. Y. Zhu, James E. Throne

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Plodia interpunctella (Hubner), the Indian meal moth, is a world-wide insect pest of stored-products and processed food commodities. It can infest a variety of products and is perhaps the most economically important insect pest of processed food. In this review, we summarize the biology of P. interpunctella, discuss oviposition and development in relation to temperature, environment and food source, examine studies involving sampling and detection, describe various aspects of integrated control, summarize the current knowledge regarding management of P. interpunctella, and address potential areas for new research. The use of reduced-risk insecticides, non-chemical control, targeted pest management through …

Hipaa Hypocrisy And The Case For Enforcing Federal Privacy Standards Under State Law, Daniel J. Oates Jan 2007

Hipaa Hypocrisy And The Case For Enforcing Federal Privacy Standards Under State Law, Daniel J. Oates

Seattle University Law Review

Part II of this Comment summarizes the background of the HIPAA statute as an attempted solution to the privacy problem described above, including its legislative history and HHS promulgation of administrative rules. Next, Part III addresses the agency-imposed limitations on the scope of the statute. The Secretary's decision to rely solely on an administrative complaint process, combined with the government's narrow interpretation of the statute granting third parties immunity from penalties, has undermined enforcement of the privacy provision. Accordingly, Part IV discusses previous attempts to circumvent the administrative limitations by creating a private right of action and the reasons these …


Racially Restrictive Covenants In The State Of Washington: A Primer For Practitioners, Rajeev Majumdar Jan 2007

Racially Restrictive Covenants In The State Of Washington: A Primer For Practitioners, Rajeev Majumdar

Seattle University Law Review

Part II of this Comment will begin by examining the history of racially restrictive covenants, specifically the nature of covenants and the role of the federal government in both spreading and hindering the usage of such covenants. Part III will discuss the legal underpinnings of what makes such covenants unenforceable in Washington, and the best processes an attorney can use to remove them. Part IV will discuss a recent case that has significantly altered the collateral consequences of attempting to destroy racially restrictive covenants upon other associated covenants. As a result, those seeking to retain the benefits of other covenants …


Rescuing The Rescued: Stemming The Tide Of Foreclosure Rescue Scams In Washington, Zachary E. Davies Jan 2007

Rescuing The Rescued: Stemming The Tide Of Foreclosure Rescue Scams In Washington, Zachary E. Davies

Seattle University Law Review

While foreclosure rescue scam (FRS) victims have many remedies under existing statutes, remedies are inadequate because they fail to holistically address the FRS problem. A successful statutory approach to combating the spread of this insidious scam must rest on three legs: education, enforcement, and litigation. First, homeowners facing foreclosure need timely warnings regarding the existence and prevalence of the FRS before the onslaught of FRSA solicitations begins. Next, in addition to education,homeowners need effective enforcement of the statutes that are supposed to protect them. Finally, homeowners wronged by FRSAs need to be able to seek civil relief that both adequately …

Working Towards Restorative Justice In Ethiopia: Integrating Traditional Conflict Resolution Systems With The Formal Legal System, Julie Macfarlane Jan 2007

Working Towards Restorative Justice In Ethiopia: Integrating Traditional Conflict Resolution Systems With The Formal Legal System, Julie Macfarlane

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This paper considers how the multiple realities of dispute resolution in any environment affect the work of conflict resolution practitioners. Conflict resolution practitioners are almost always invited in by representatives of the formal legal system, and their work generally focuses on managing - and perhaps reforming - this system. In practice, they cannot ignore the existence of parallel informal systems of conflict resolution that may undermine or distract from the formal state system. These may include structured alternatives to law, such as religious tribunals or community mediation programs. There may be other, more informal but equally significant family or community-based …


Restorative Justice: An Empirically Grounded Movement Facing Many Opportunities And Pitfalls, Mark S. Umbreit, Betty Vos, Robert B. Coates, Elizabeth Lightfoot Jan 2007

Restorative Justice: An Empirically Grounded Movement Facing Many Opportunities And Pitfalls, Mark S. Umbreit, Betty Vos, Robert B. Coates, Elizabeth Lightfoot

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This article provides an overview of the restorative justice movement in the twenty-first century. In Section II we offer a summary of the movement's distinguishing characteristics, its history and development, and what it looks like in practice. Section III is focused on restorative justice dialogue, the most widely practiced and extensively researched modality of the restorative justice movement. We present a review of current restorative justice dialogue research and an examination of public policy support for such dialogue across the United States. In Section IV we turn to continuing issues, including pitfalls, opportunities, and questions for the future.


Justice Or Forgiveness? In Search Of A Solution, Olga Botcharova Jan 2007

Justice Or Forgiveness? In Search Of A Solution, Olga Botcharova

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

The presentation will be based on the model I created during my work with the leaders of ethnic/religious communities (Orthodox, Catholic and Muslim) engaged in hostilities in the former Yugoslavia, during times of war and post-war. This work is summarized in two diagrams, Seven Steps Towards Revenge (inner circle) and Seven Steps Towards Reconciliation. In its entirety, the work represents a journey from revenge, understood as a natural response to an inflicted hurt, towards reconciliation, with forgiveness and justice playing crucial roles in the process. This model is in Appendix 1, together with a brief description of the stages …


Evaluation Of An Education Intervention For The Staff On The Head Of The Bed Elevation In The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Randall Johnson Jan 2007

Evaluation Of An Education Intervention For The Staff On The Head Of The Bed Elevation In The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Randall Johnson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Elevating the head of bed (HOB) reduces risks for aspiration and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) in the adult population. Educational interventions have resulted in improvements in achieving a target HOB elevation of 30° in adults. Limited research has addressed this intervention in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The aim of this study was to determine if an educational intervention for the PICU staff would result in improvement in the HOB elevation in the PICU. Four research questions were studied: 1) What is the common practice related to the elevation of the HOB in the PICU? 2) Is there a …


Quality Of Life In Older Breast Cancer Survivors, Victoria Loerzel Jan 2007

Quality Of Life In Older Breast Cancer Survivors, Victoria Loerzel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Quality of life (QoL) in cancer survivors is an important area of research. While data are available about QoL and breast cancer, there is a paucity of research regarding older breast cancer survivors. The purpose of this research was to examine QoL in older women with early stage breast cancer, within the first year of post-treatment survivorship. The specific aims of this study were to: 1) Describe the changes in overall QoL and the four QoL domains of Physical, Psychological, Social, and Spiritual well-being; 2) Examine the effects of a psychoeducational support intervention on QoL outcomes in older women; and …
