Hispanic Population And Its Economic Impacts, Kalyan Chakraborty

Mountain Plains Journal of Business and Technology

The purpose of this study is to quantify the monetary impact of the expenditures of the Hispanic households and their guests and visitors on the local economy. This study applied input-output procedures and estimated output, income, and employment impacts of the Hispanic expenditure on the local economy of the Emporia area, Kansas. The Emporia area is defined in this study as a seven-county region consisting of Chase, Coffey, Greenwood, Lyon, Morris, Osage, and Wabaunsee counties and together they constitute 27 percent of the Hispanic population in the area. The multiplier impact of $38 million direct expenditure by the local Hispanic …

The Enemy Within: A Commentary On The Exploding Problem Of Employee Theft, Kenneth W. Hollman, Robert D. Hayes, James R. Mahurin

Mountain Plains Journal of Business and Technology

Few companies recognize the big bite that thefts, both large and small, take out of their profit margin. It is estimated that theft in some form absorbs 5 percent of all business revenues, which translates into about $652 billion in losses per year. Small businesses take a disproportionate share of the hit. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the rapidly expanding scope of the employee theft problem and to suggest common sense Risk Management techniques that companies can use to prevent losses and to reduce the damages from those that occur. In many cases, the loss control measures …

The Readability Of Instructions For Income Taxation In The Western States, Frank F. Urbancic, Ko Hsu

Mountain Plains Journal of Business and Technology

The taxation of individual income represents an important revenue source for many states. The taxes are determined by a self-assessed tax system from information that is the declaration of the taxpayer in an annual return. State taxation agencies facilitate compliance by furnishing individuals with the necessary forms and instruction materials needed to prepare the self-assessed tax return. This study reports on a readability assessment of the income tax instructions for states in the West. The results find improvements in the readability averages for tax instructions between 1990 and 2005, but in absolute terms the instructions for Western states are difficult …

The Relationship Between Nurse To Population Ratio And Population Density: A Pilot Study In A Rural/Frontier State, Jeri L. Bigbee

Nursing Faculty Publications and Presentations

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between nurse to population ratio and population density. A secondary analysis was conducted, correlating nurse to population data with county-based population density data. The sample consisted of all 17 counties in the state of Nevada (3 urban, 4 rural and 10 frontier). County nurse to population ratios ranged from 178 to 861 per 100,000 population and population density ranged from 0.3 to 173.9 people per square mile (mean of 39.3). Correlational analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between nurse to population ratio and population density (r = .65 (p <.005). Mean nurse to population ratios were found to be significantly different between frontier (356/100,000), rural (682/100,000), and urban (587/100,000) counties (F = 7.53, p =.006). Not surprisingly, the results indicated that the lowest nurse to population ratios occur in areas with the lowest population density. These findings provide rural and frontier nurses with support in advocating for aggressive strategies to address the nurse to population disparity affecting rural and frontier communities.

Positive Organizational Behavior In The Workplace: The Impact Of Hope, Optimism, And Resilience, Carolyn M. Youssef, Fred Luthans

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

Drawing from the foundation of positive psychology and the recently emerging positive organizational behavior, two studies (N = 1,032 and N = 232) test hypotheses on the impact that the selected positive psychological resource capacities of hope, optimism, and resilience have on desired work-related employee outcomes. These outcomes include performance (self-reported in Study 1 and organizational performance appraisals in Study 2), job satisfaction, work happiness, and organizational commitment. The findings generally support that employees’ positive psychological resource capacities relate to, and contribute unique variance to, the outcomes. However, hope, and, to a lesser extent, optimism and resilience, do differentially contribute …

Otk18, A Zinc-Finger Protein, Regulates Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Long Terminal Repeat Through Two Distinct Regulatory Regions, Masahide Horiba, Lindsey B. Martinez, James L. Buescher, Sinji Sato, Jenae Limoges, Yunquan Jiang, Clinton J. Jones, Tsuneya Ikezu

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

It has previously been shown by our laboratory that OTK18, a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-inducible zinc-finger protein, reduces progeny-virion production in infected human macrophages. OTK18 antiviral activity is mediated through suppression of Tat-induced HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter activity. Through the use of LTR scanning mutant vectors, the specific regions responsible for OTK18-mediated LTR suppression have been defined. Two different LTR regions were identifi ed as potential OTK18-binding sites by an enhanced DNA–transcription factor ELISA system; the negative-regulatory element (NRE) at –255/–238 and the Ets-binding site (EBS) at –150/–139 in the LTR. In addition, deletion of the EBS in …

California's Domestic Partnership Law: Incremental Progress Or Dramatic Social Change?, Carol A. Docan, Richard F. Sperling

William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice

Effective January 1, 2005, the California Domestic Partner Rights and Responsibilities Act of 2003 (CDPRRA) replaced the Domestic Partnership Act of 1999, vesting registered domestic partners with new rights and a court termination procedure similar to divorce. Does the new statute legalize gay marriage? Are domestic partners eligible for spousal support? Are the registration and termination procedures voluntary? Does the Unruh Civil Rights Act now require businesses and private organizations to include gay members? The article reviews the new law and analyzes how three recent court decisions resolve these controversial issues.

To "Bring Down The Flowers": The Cultural Context Of Abortion Law In Early Modern England, Carla Spivack

William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice

This article takes issue with claims made by Joseph Dellapenna in his 2006 book, Dispelling the Myths of Abortion History, which claims to correct the "distortions of the history" of abortion law underlying Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973). Dellapenna argues that, contrary to Justice Blackmun's historic analysis in Roe, "abortion was considered a serious crime throughout most of European history" and that "courts did... punish abortions before quickening during the Middle Ages." This article shows that Dellapenna's argument relies on serious misreading of cases and ignorance of the relevant historical, medical, and cultural context, and that pre-quickening or …

Who Is To Shame? Narratives Of Neonaticide, Susan Ayres

William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice

In seventeenth-century England, single women who killed their newborns were believed to have acted to hide their shame. They were prosecuted under the 1624 Concealment Law and punished by death. This harsh response eventually evolved into a more humane and sympathetic one, as shown by the increasing number of acquittals in the late eighteenth century and by the sharp drop of prosecutions in the late nineteenth century. Then, in 1922, England passed the Infanticide Act, amended in 1938, which provided that a mother who killed her child would be prosecuted for manslaughter, not murder. Today, the great majority of women …

Crime In The African-American Neighborhood, Alix Cantave Ph.D.

William Monroe Trotter Institute Publications

On March 28, 2007, the William Monroe Trotter Institute held a roundtable on crime in predominantly black neighborhoods. More than fifty individuals who represented a broad array of perspectives and experiences took part in the roundtable. Participants included religious leaders, elected officials, educators, academics, law enforcement officials, social services providers, youth workers and youths, and community activists. Participants were eager to examine, discuss, and contribute to the understanding of: What accounts for the high rate of violent crime in Boston’s predominantly black neighborhoods? Is there adequate parent, youth, adult, and institutional accountability? Are there sufficient resources allocated to crime prevention …

Bridging The Gaps Between Earnings And Basic Needs In Massachusetts: Executive Summary And Final Report, Randy Albelda, Jennifer Shea

Center for Social Policy Publications

In the United States, it is generally assumed that holding a steady job is enough to make ends meet. But, in today’s labor market, where nearly a quarter of jobs pay low wages and offer no benefits, this couldn’t be further from the truth for millions of workers and their families. Most workers do not make ends meet on their wages alone. Upper- and moderate-wage workers are not “selfsufficient” as most receive on-the-job benefits, such as employer-provided health insurance or paid sick days, and are eligible for unemployment or disability insurance if they need it. Workers in low-wage jobs find …

Event Jurisdiction And Protective Coordination: Lessons From September 11th Litigation, Robin Effron

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Shortly after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Congress passed the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act (ATSSSA). The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) was the centerpiece of the statute and provided a source of no-fault compensation to the tragedy’s victims and victims’ families. The ATSSSA also allowed victims to elect to pursue traditional litigation instead. The ATSSSA contains three jurisdictional features that have shaped the path of the litigation. The Act created a federal cause of action “for damages arising out of” the terrorist related aircraft crashes; it gave the Southern District of New York original …

Larvicidal Activity Of Piper Guineense And Spilanthes Mauritiana Crude-Powder Against Anopheles Gambiae And Culex Quinquefasciatus In Kilifi District, Kenya, Spala O. Ohaga, Isaiah O. Ndiege, Sammy S. Kubasu, John C. Beier, Charles M. Mbogo

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Field trials were conducted in Kilifi District, Kenya on the activity of Piper guineense and Spilanthes mauritiana powders against field populations of Anopheles gambiae s.l. and Culex quinquefasciatus larvae. Pools containing mosquito larvae were sampled and larval populations determined before and after application of plant powders. Four doses, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 g L-1, were used in the trials and larval mortality monitored after 24, 48 and 72 h. After 24 h, P. guineense powder at 0.5 g L-1 gave larval mortalities of 18.8 and 23.6% for An. gambiae s.l. and Cx. quinquefasciatus, respectively. At 2.0 g L-1, mortalities …
