Ethical And Managerial Implications Of Internet Monitoring, Andra Gumbus, Frances Grodzinsky Jan 2008

Ethical And Managerial Implications Of Internet Monitoring, Andra Gumbus, Frances Grodzinsky

WCBT Faculty Publications

As Internet use pervades our personal and professional lives, organizations have become increasingly concerned about employee use of the Internet for personal reasons while at work. This has prompted the restriction of the Internet or the limitation of the Internet during work hours. Monitoring of employee Internet and email is another result of this trend. Legitimate business functions such as employee performance appraisal and progress toward goals are served by monitoring. However, poorly designed and communicated monitoring practices can be negative and have perverse effects on employee morale and productivity. Monitoring of employees erodes trust and may be considered an …

Reporting Sexual Assault Of Women In The Military, Jodie Friedman Jan 2008

Reporting Sexual Assault Of Women In The Military, Jodie Friedman

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the underreporting of sexual assaults in the military and the impact of policy changes aimed at addressing this issue. It highlights the challenges faced by victims, including fears of retaliation and the lack of confidentiality, and evaluates the effectiveness of the 2005 restricted reporting policy. The analysis suggests that while progress has been made, systemic issues persist, and further reforms are needed to protect victims' rights and ensure justice.

Implementing A Forensic Educational Package For Registered Nurses In Two Emergency Departments In Western Australia, Christine M. Michel Jan 2008

Implementing A Forensic Educational Package For Registered Nurses In Two Emergency Departments In Western Australia, Christine M. Michel

Theses

The results of violence are a major public health problem that infiltrates hospital emergency departments (ED) daily. Often, ED nurses are the first healthcare professionals to see patients, speak with family members, handle personal property and collect laboratory specimens. Such actions can be of extreme importance to the 27 different categories of forensic patients. To adequately address forensic patient issues, ED nurses need exposure to forensic education. The aim of this research was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a clinical forensic education package on ED nurses’ perceptions, knowledge and care of forensic patients. To accomplish this aim, this …

On The Foundation Of Rights To Political Self-Determination: Secession, Non-Intervention, And Democratic Governance, David Lefkowitz Jan 2008

On The Foundation Of Rights To Political Self-Determination: Secession, Non-Intervention, And Democratic Governance, David Lefkowitz

Philosophy Faculty Publications

From a justificatory standpoint, perhaps the most basic question with respect to secession is what, if anything, provides the moral foundation for a group’s right to secede. My aim here is to make a start to answering this question. I do so, however, by considering a different, albeit closely related, question, namely what is the nature of the wrong done to members of a qualified group denied secession by the state that currently rules them? A compelling answer to this latter question, I suggest, will contribute significantly to a satisfactory answer of the former one.

Durability Of Perfluorosulfonic Acid And Hydrocarbon Membranes: Effect Of Humidity And Temperature, Vijay A. Sethuraman, John W. Weidner, Andrew T. Haug, Lesia V. Protsailo

Faculty Publications

The effect of humidity on the chemical stability of two types of membranes [i.e., perfluorosulfonic acid type (PFSA, Nafion 112) and biphenyl sulfone hydrocarbon type, (BPSH-35)] was studied by subjecting the membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) to open-circuit voltage (OCV) decay and potential cycling tests at elevated temperatures and low inlet-gas relative humidities. The BPSH-35 membranes showed poor chemical stability in ex situ Fenton tests compared to that of Nafion membranes. However, under fuel cell conditions, BPSH-35 MEAs outperformed Nafion 112 MEAs in both the OCV decay and potential cycling tests. For both membranes, (i) at a given temperature, …

Corporate Misconduct And The Perfect Storm Of Shareholder Litigation, Jessica M. Erickson Jan 2008

Corporate Misconduct And The Perfect Storm Of Shareholder Litigation, Jessica M. Erickson

Law Faculty Publications

When it comes to combating corporate misconduct, is more litigation necessarily better? The conventional wisdom is that we should deploy every weapon in the law's arsenal to combat corporate misconduct. This wisdom, however, reflects legal scholarship that is confined to analyzing securities class actions and derivative suits in isolation, with little inquiry into the interplay between them. By Jailing to take a broader view of shareholder litigation, legal scholars have missed an opportunity to provide courts with the conceptual tools necessary to meet the complex challenges of complex corporate litigation. In courtrooms and boardrooms across the country, a debate is …

Areawide Suppression Of Fire Ants, M. D. Aubuchon, R. K. Vander Meer Jan 2008

Areawide Suppression Of Fire Ants, M. D. Aubuchon, R. K. Vander Meer

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

The imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta and S. richteri, were inadvertently introduced into the USA in the early 1900s and currently inhabit over 129 million ha in Puerto Rico and 12 southern states, from Texas to Virginia (Callcott and Collins, 1996; USDA-APHIS map). Imported fire ants have also become established in isolated sites in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Maryland. Strict quarantine procedures have limited the spread of this pest (Lockley and Collins, 1990), but eventually populations will expand westward in increasing numbers in New Mexico, Arizona and California. They will also move upward along the Pacific coast, southward …

Cell-Wall Composition And Accessibility To Hydrolytic Enzymes Is Differentially Altered In Divergently Bred Switchgrass (Panicum Virgatum L.) Genotypes, Gautam Sarath, Danny E. Akin, Robert B. Mitchell, Kenneth P. Vogel Jan 2008

Cell-Wall Composition And Accessibility To Hydrolytic Enzymes Is Differentially Altered In Divergently Bred Switchgrass (Panicum Virgatum L.) Genotypes, Gautam Sarath, Danny E. Akin, Robert B. Mitchell, Kenneth P. Vogel

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

The aims of this study were to understand the genotypic variability in cell-wall composition and cell-wall accessibility to enzymes in select switchgrass plants obtained from two different populations derived from a base population of octaploid cultivars. Population C+3 was developed by three breeding generations for high digestibility and population C−1 developed by one generation of breeding for low digestibility. Aboveground biomass from 12 selected genotypes, three each with high or low digestibility within each population, was analyzed for their cell-wall aromatics and polysaccharides. The ratio of p-coumaric acid/ferulic acid was greater (P≤0.05) for the high-lignin C−1 population over the …

Aged Switchgrass Seed Lot's Response To Dormancy-Breaking Chemicals, Gautam Sarath, Robert B. Mitchell Jan 2008

Aged Switchgrass Seed Lot's Response To Dormancy-Breaking Chemicals, Gautam Sarath, Robert B. Mitchell

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

Aged switchgrass seed lots can display various levels of dormancy. Under-standing the causes for this dormancy will provide better insight into seed physiology, and potentially lead to treatments that reduce variability in seed germination assays. The effects of sodium nitroprusside, potassium ferro-cyanide and hydrogen peroxide on the germination of eight aged switch-grass (Panicum virgatum L.) seed lots, seven of which were produced in the same year at a single experiment station, were examined. Seed germination demonstrated a significant seed lots × days and treatments × days effect. However, responses of individual seed lots to specific chemicals varied considerably. Genetically …

Comparison Of Two Soil Quality Indexes To Evaluate Cropping Systems In Northern Colorado, T.M. Zobeck, A.D. Halvorson, Brian J. Wienhold, V. Acosta-Martinez, D. L. Karlen Jan 2008

Comparison Of Two Soil Quality Indexes To Evaluate Cropping Systems In Northern Colorado, T.M. Zobeck, A.D. Halvorson, Brian J. Wienhold, V. Acosta-Martinez, D. L. Karlen

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

Various soil management or quality assessment tools have been proposed to evaluate the effects of land management practices on soil, air, and water resources. Two of them are the Soil Management Assessment Framework and the Soil Conditioning Index (SCI). This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that the Soil Quality Index (SQI) estimated by the Soil Management Assessment Framework can detect more minute changes in soil management than SCI and to test SCI response to other soil quality (SQ) indicators. These SQ indexes were tested on irrigated cropping systems near Fort Collins, Colorado, that included no-till and conventionally-tilled corn …

Application Of Spectral Remote Sensing For Agronomic Decisions, J. L. Hatfield, Anatoly A. Gitelson, J. S. Schepers, C. L. Walthall Jan 2008

Application Of Spectral Remote Sensing For Agronomic Decisions, J. L. Hatfield, Anatoly A. Gitelson, J. S. Schepers, C. L. Walthall

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

Remote sensing has provided valuable insights into agronomic management over the past 40 yr. The contributions of individuals to remote sensing methods have lead to understanding of how leaf reflectance and leaf emittance changes in response to leaf thickness, species, canopy shape, leaf age, nutrient status, and water status. Leaf chlorophyll and the preferential absorption at different wavelengths provides the basis for utilizing reflectance with either broad-band radiometers typical of current satellite platforms or hyperspectral sensors that measure reflectance at narrow wavebands. Understanding of leaf reflectance has lead to various vegetative indices for crop canopies to quantify various agronomic parameters, …

Screwworms, Cochliomyia Hominivorax, Reared For Mass Release Do Not Carry And Spread Foot-And-Mouth Disease Virus And Classical Swine Fever Virus, M. F. Chaudhury, G. B. Ward, Steven R. Skoda, M. Y. Deng, J. B. Welch, T. S. Mckenna

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

Experiments were done to determine if transporting live screwworms Cochliomyia hominivorax Coquerel (Diptera: Calliphoridae) for developing new strains from countries where foot-and-mouth disease and classical swine fever are endemic, to the mass rearing facilities in Mexico and Panama, may introduce these exotic diseases into these countries. Are screwworms capable of harboring and spreading foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) and classical swine fever virus (CSFV) when they are grown in virus-inoculated larval rearing medium? In one experiment, screwworm larvae were reared in a FMDV-inoculated artificial medium containing either 0.1% formaldehyde. In each experiment, samples of larvae and the rearing media were collected …
