A Review By Joyce Milambiling Of Writing To Change The World, By Mary Pipher, Joyce Milambiling

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

You have probably heard someone start a comedy routine or conversation with “I’ve got good news and bad news—first, the good news.” This is a popular opening gambit since life can be good and bad almost simultaneously, or because we know that if we approach something from one side in the sunlight, there is likely to be another side in the shadows.

In Writing to Change the World, Mary Pipher starts with the bad news. The world is a mess. She describes how U.S. politics and corporations have contributed to the abysmal state of the world and that “our world …

Liberal Education For A Time Of Uncertainty: Reflections On Mark Van Doren's Liberal Education, Bill Koch

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

For several months now I have been reading up on composition theory, and I’ve noticed that scholars like Anne Berthoff and Patricia Bizzell quote some of the seminal thinkers and philosophers of the early 20th century. These scholars (such as Cassirer, Richards, Whitehead) wrote their most influential texts during the 1930s, as if the awful gathering military storm had pressured these thinkers into formulating crystalline expressions of what the human mind must do to—as Richards puts it—“remedy our misunderstandings.”

John Thomas' Art Rediscovered: An Introduction, Harvey Hess

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

Jerré Tanner's splendid (but by no means exhaustive) monograph, On the Origins and Applications of the Grid in the Art of John Paul Thomas presents the first internet presence, in the twenty-first century, of one of the most significant artists of the twentieth. That a chasm of close to two decades could gape between the most recent examples of Thomas studies, when the internet had not yet begun its astonishing career, seems no less astonishing than that a species of "dark ages" could descend upon the work and fame of an artist of "light," and-as Tanner reveals-a re-creation of pictorial …

Roc Surfaces In The Presence Of Verification Bias, Yueh-Yun Chi, Xiao-Hua (Andrew) Zhou

UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series

In diagnostic medicine, the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) surface is one of the established tools for assessing the accuracy of a diagnostic test in discriminating three disease states, and the volume under the ROC surface has served as a summary index for diagnostic accuracy. In practice, the selection for definitive disease examination may be based on initial test measurements, and induces verification bias in the assessment. We propose here a nonparametric likelihood-based approach to construct the empirical ROC surface in the presence of differential verification, and to estimate the volume under the ROC surface. Estimators of the standard deviation are …

Johnson, Michele Kiely, Ayman El-Mohandes, Siva Subramanian, Haziel A. Laryea, Kennan B. Murray, Jutta S. Thornberry, Jill G. Joseph

Publications and Research

Background
Researchers have frequently encountered difficulties in the recruitment and retention of minorities resulting in their under-representation in clinical trials. This report describes the successful strategies of recruitment and retention of African Americans and Latinos in a randomized clinical trial to reduce smoking, depression and intimate partner violence during pregnancy. Socio-demographic characteristics and risk profiles of retained vs. non-retained women and lost to follow-up vs. dropped-out women are presented. In addition, subgroups of pregnant women who are less (more) likely to be retained are identified.

Methods
Pregnant African American women and Latinas who were Washington, DC residents, aged 18 years …

Paper and pencil surveys were collected from 332 sexual abusers and 170 non-sexually offending youth at 6 residential facilities in a Midwestern state.
