Maternal Risk Factors Associated With Low Birth Weight In Karachi: A Case-Control Study, S A. Rizvi, J Hatcher, I Jehan, R Qureshi Jan 2007

Maternal Risk Factors Associated With Low Birth Weight In Karachi: A Case-Control Study, S A. Rizvi, J Hatcher, I Jehan, R Qureshi

Community Health Sciences

To evaluate maternal risk factors associated with low birth weight (LBW) among women aged 15-35 years, we carried out a hospital-based, case-control study on 262 cases (mothers of neonates weighing < or = 2.5 kg) and 262 controls (mothers of neonates weighing > 2.5 kg). Odds of delivering a low-birth-weight baby decreased with increase in maternal haemoglobin [odds ratio (OR): 0.701; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.62-0.79]. Odds were greater among mothers not using iron supplements during pregnancy (OR: 2.88; 95% CI: 1.83-4.54). Mothers of LBW babies had lower haemoglobin levels before delivery.

Inventive Spelling In The Early Childhood Classroom, Denielle J. Stuntz Jan 2007

Inventive Spelling In The Early Childhood Classroom, Denielle J. Stuntz

Graduate Research Papers

This review of literature explored the use of inventive spelling in early childhood classrooms. The following three questions were posed: 1) Should inventive spelling be an instructional practice used in early childhood classrooms? 2) What is the relationship between inventive spelling development and other areas of children's literacy development? 3) What are the best practices for using inventive spelling in the classroom? Based on an analysis of pertinent, peer-reviewed articles and books, it was determined that inventive spelling has a valuable place in early childhood classrooms. Some benefits of using inventive spelling include a reduction of fear about writing (Chomsky, …


A Review Of Motivation In Youth Sports: Review Of Reversal Achievement Goal Theories, Amel Muhamedagic Jan 2007

A Review Of Motivation In Youth Sports: Review Of Reversal Achievement Goal Theories, Amel Muhamedagic

Graduate Research Papers

Motivation is a key underlying determinant for any given human behavior. Without motivation the human species would cease to live. Above and beyond the basic physiological needs humans are motivated to meet (i.e., hunger, safety, and shelter), many individuals are also motivated to meet higher order needs (i.e., the need to belong, the need for high self esteem, or the need for love) (Naime, 2006). One such example of a "higher order" need that many individuals are motivated to meet is participation in sports. Individuals are motivated by different needs and different motives. Motivation can be described as something that …


A Review Of The Literature Related To Pregnant Adolescents And Their Use Of Doulas As Childbirth Support, Janet Hunter Jan 2007

A Review Of The Literature Related To Pregnant Adolescents And Their Use Of Doulas As Childbirth Support, Janet Hunter

Graduate Research Papers

According to Bachman (1993), "Childbirth is now lonelier and more psychologically stressful than in the past," especially for adolescents. Today, nurses have found themselves farther from the bedside because of the increase in technology and the way shifts are staffed. Over-crowded maternity clinics and short hospital stays have given nurses little or no time to provide health education and information to the high-risk population of pregnant teens (Bachman, 1993). The caring and nurturing touch of nurses can often be overshadowed by these changes (Herrick & Perez, 1998). Perhaps, because of the nurse's busy schedule, women rate a partner's presence as …

"We're Here To Protect Democracy. We're Not Here To Practice It": The U.S. Military's Involvement In Trafficking In Persons And Suggestions For The Future, Jorene Soto Jan 2007

"We're Here To Protect Democracy. We're Not Here To Practice It": The U.S. Military's Involvement In Trafficking In Persons And Suggestions For The Future, Jorene Soto

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that the U.S. military has historically been complicit in human trafficking, particularly through its involvement in prostitution near overseas bases, and that current legal and policy measures fail to adequately address this issue. While laws like the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) provide some framework, enforcement and penalties are insufficient to deter military personnel from contributing to trafficking. The article calls for stronger legal policies, enhanced education, and stricter penalties to combat this issue effectively.

Sex Required: The Impact Of Massachusetts' Same-Sex Marriage Cases On Marriages With Intersex And Transsexual Partners, Aleks Kajstura

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that the Census Bureau's practice of counting incarcerated individuals as residents of their prison locations, rather than their home communities, distorts political representation by inflating the voting power of districts with prisons and diluting that of others, undermining the principle of "one person, one vote."

Information Seeking And Use By Low-Level Students, Jin Soo Chung, Jinmook Kim

Faculty Publications

This paper reports on an exploratory study of information seeking and use in high school students with a low level of information skills and academic competency. Seven students in the 11th grade Remedial Education Program class in American Literature and Composition completed a class project that involved somewhat comprehensive information seeking and use. Data were collected through observation and interview (with students, the teacher, and two library media specialists). All documents each student produced in completing the class project were gathered for data analysis. The preliminary findings of the study indicated that students experienced a great deal of difficulty in …


To Market, To Market: The Supervisory Skills And Managerial Competencies Most Valued By New Library Supervisors, Jennifer Weil Arns, Carol Price Jan 2007

To Market, To Market: The Supervisory Skills And Managerial Competencies Most Valued By New Library Supervisors, Jennifer Weil Arns, Carol Price

Faculty Publications

ALA-accredited schools of library and information science produce several thousand new librarians yearly, and many of these graduates are assigned supervisory responsibilities relatively early in their careers. Most have responsibility for facilitating the work of others, preparing budgets, planning and evaluating programs, making staffing decisions, and maintaining the safety and security of assets that include funds, related property, and library buildings. Others find themselves in leadership roles that require interfacing with other organizations, mobilizing community support, and representing their organizations to their users and supporters.

Experience suggests that the approach of these librarians to their supervisory duties and the success …
