Fordham: A History And Memoir, Revised Edition, Raymond A. Schroth S.J.

Education

Fordham University is the quintessential American-Catholic institution—and one now looked upon as among the best Catholic universities in the country. Its story is also the story of New York, especially the Bronx, and Fordham’s commitment to the city during its rise, fall, and rebirth. It’s a story of Jesuits, soldiers, alumni who fought in World Wars, chaplains, teachers, and administrators who made bold moves and big mistakes, of presidents who thought small and those who had vision. And of the first women, students and faculty, who helped bring Fordham into the 20th century. Finally it’s the story of an institution’s …

Justifiability Of Littering: An Empirical Investigation, Benno Torgler, María A. García-Valiñas, Alison Macintyre

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

The paper investigates the relationship between environmental participation and littering. Previous empirical work in the area of littering is scarce as is evidence regarding the determinants of littering behavior. We address these deficiencies, demonstrating a strong empirical link between environmental participation and reduced public littering using European Values Survey (EVS) data for 30 Western and Eastern European countries. The results suggest that membership in environmental organizations strengthens commitment to anti-littering behaviour, thereby supporting improved environmental quality.

Acute Atomoxetine Treatment Of Younger And Older Children With Adhd: A Meta-Analysis Of Tolerability And Efficacy., Christopher J. Kratochvil, Denái R. Milton, Brigette S. Vaughan, Laurence L. Greenhill

Journal Articles: Psychiatry

BACKGROUND: Atomoxetine is FDA-approved as a treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in patients aged 6 years to adult. Among pediatric clinical trials of atomoxetine to date, six with a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design were used in this meta-analysis. The purpose of this article is to describe and compare the treatment response and tolerability of atomoxetine between younger children (6-7 years) and older children (8-12 years) with ADHD, as reported in these six acute treatment trials.

METHODS: Data from six clinical trials of 6-9 weeks duration were pooled, yielding 280 subjects, ages 6-7 years, and 860 subjects, ages 8-12 years with …

The Profitability Of The Weekend Effect: Evidence From The Taiwan Mutual Fund Market, Mei-Chen Lin, Miawjane Chen

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

In this research we first investigated the day-of-the-week effect in the Taiwan mutual fund market. The results revealed significantly negative Monday returns and positive Friday returns. This weekend effect did not vary greatly between the early and later periods of the month. In the absence of transaction costs, weekend trading strategies, both simple and complex, can increase returns and moderate risk. Finally, the pattern triggered by macroeconomic news can only partially subsume the weekend effects of fund returns.

Off-Label Psychopharmacologic Prescribing For Children: History Supports Close Clinical Monitoring., Julie M. Zito, Albert T. Derivan, Christopher J. Kratochvil, Daniel J. Safer, Joerg M. Fegert, Laurence L. Greenhill

Journal Articles: Psychiatry

The review presents pediatric adverse drug events from a historical perspective and focuses on selected safety issues associated with off-label use of medications for the psychiatric treatment of youth. Clinical monitoring procedures for major psychotropic drug classes are reviewed. Prior studies suggest that systematic treatment monitoring is warranted so as to both minimize risk of unexpected adverse events and exposures to ineffective treatments. Clinical trials to establish the efficacy and safety of drugs currently being used off-label in the pediatric population are needed. In the meantime, clinicians should consider the existing evidence-base for these drugs and institute close clinical monitoring.

Smith, Craig L. Katz, Vansh Sharma, Dennis S. Charney, Robin Herbert, Jacqueline Moline, Benjamin J. Luft, Steven Markowitz, Iris Udasin, Denise Harrison, Sherry Baron, Philip J. Landrigan, Stephen M. Levin, Steven Southwick

Publications and Research

Background The World Trade Center (WTC) attacks exposed thousands of workers to hazardous environmental conditions and psychological trauma. In 2002, to assess the health of these workers, Congress directed the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to establish the WTC Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program. This program has established a large cohort of WTC rescue, recovery, and cleanup workers. We previously documented extensive pulmonary dysfunction in this cohort related to toxic environmental exposures. Objectives Our objective in this study was to describe mental health outcomes, social function impairment, and psychiatric comorbidity in the WTC worker cohort, as well as …

The Relationship Between Childhood And Adolescent Family Environment And Adult Psychological Functioning In Females Who Experienced Childhood Sexual Abuse, Ross Krawczyk

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Research has shown childhood sexual abuse (CSA) to be related to many negative outcomes in adulthood including psychopathology. Findings in this area, however, are very inconsistent, with the relationship between CSA and adult outcomes varying greatly across studies. This relationship is further complicated by the co-occurrence with CSA of other risk factors in childhood. The present study examines the prediction of adult psychopathology, measured by the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI; Derogatis, 1982), made by CSA, measured by the Early Sexual Experiences Survey (ESE; Bartoi & Kinder, 1998), childhood SES (Hollingshead, 1975), parental bonding, as measured by the Parental Bonding Instrument …

Dynamic Assessment: Towards A Model Of Dialogic Engagement, Robert Summers

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study investigated the effects of Dynamic Assessment (DA) training on the mediational strategies of experienced teachers of French as a foreign language. Moreover the strategies that mediators used for students at different levels of language experience were investigated. Last the ways in which mediators manifested mediational sensitivity, reciprocity and management was examined.

Four mediators underwent DA training that exposed them to the theoretical underpinnings of DA as well as sound DA procedures. To determine the effect of this training, the way in which the mediators conducted their mediation was compared from pre-DA training to post-DA training. Three of these …

Risk Factors, Chronic Disease, And Functionality Of Native American And Alaskan Native Elder Populations., Leander Russell Mcdonald

Theses and Dissertations

Functional limitation rates are lower for American Indian and Alaskan Native elders although they experience higher rates of chronic disease. Research concerning the relationship between functional limitation, chronic disease and health risk factors among American Indian and Alaskan Native elder populations is limited. This paper contains results of an analysis of chronic disease's affect on functional limitation and the affect of health risk factors on chronic disease from a survey of 9,296 Native elders representing over 100 tribes from 88 sites. The self-reported data were gathered by elder providers using face-to-face interviewing and a standardized survey instrument. The sampling design …
