Neuroscience And Education: The Importance Of A Christian Understanding Of Human Persons, Laura A. Barwegen Ed.D.
Neuroscience And Education: The Importance Of A Christian Understanding Of Human Persons, Laura A. Barwegen Ed.D.
International Christian Community of Teacher Educators Journal
The increased research in the neurosciences has affected the discipline of education in numerous ways, with publications translating this research into classroom practices. A caution is given to Christian educators to carefully reflect upon how this research influences our view of human persons and what difference this view makes in the teaching and learning process. The purpose of this paper is (1) to examine some of the ways that neuroscience is speaking into the discipline of education, particularly in understanding the capabilities and processes of the learner; (2) to develop an awareness of how this affects our understanding of persons; …
Does Political Bias In The Judiciary Matter?: Implications Of Judicial Bias Studies For Legal And Constitutional Reform, Eric A. Posner
Does Political Bias In The Judiciary Matter?: Implications Of Judicial Bias Studies For Legal And Constitutional Reform, Eric A. Posner
Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers
Recent empirical scholarship that shows that judges decide cases in a manner that is consistent with their political biases has motivated a stream of proposals for reform, including judicial term limits, limitations on judicial review of statutes and agency actions, revision of the judicial appointments process, and mandatory mixed party representation on judicial panels. However, these proposals incorrectly assume that judicial bias is necessarily harmful, and do not fully consider the costs to other values even when reduction of judicial bias is justified. To evaluate proposals for reform, one needs a theory of judicial review, one that explains how bias …
Expanding Restitution: Liability For Unrequested Benefits, Ariel Porat
Expanding Restitution: Liability For Unrequested Benefits, Ariel Porat
Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers
Suppose Owner can improve his property at a cost of 15, thereby creating benefits of 10 for himself and 10 for his Neighbors. Since each Neighbor expects to reap the benefits regardless of whether she pays Owner or not for this enhancement, all Neighbors may refuse to share the burden and the welfare enhancing activity will not take place. This paper advocates correcting this failure by recognizing an Expanded Duty of Restitution (“EDR”) that obligates recipients of benefits, under certain, well-defined conditions, to compensate benefactors for unrequested benefits voluntarily conferred upon them. Part I of the paper compares the law’s …
Adolescent Risk-Taking And Social Meaning: A Commentary, Cass R. Sunstein
Adolescent Risk-Taking And Social Meaning: A Commentary, Cass R. Sunstein
Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers
Why do adolescents take risks? What is the appropriate response to adolescent risk-taking? This Commentary for a special issue of Developmental Review, discussing a set of papers in that issue, explores these questions with attention to changes in the adolescent brain, to dual-processing theory, to social influences, and to fuzzy-trace theory. It contends that adolescent risk-taking is often driven by the social meaning of risk and caution, and that social meaning operates as a tax on or a subsidy to behavior. Changes in social meaning present a serious collective action problem, but also a valuable opportunity for both law and …
Empirical Examination Of The President As A Policy Entrepreneur, Skyler. Smith
Empirical Examination Of The President As A Policy Entrepreneur, Skyler. Smith
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
My study focuses on oscillating political context to find what factors are conducive to the proposal and ultimate success of executive-generated, liberal health care policy. When it comes to initiating policy change, most of the existing literature concentrates on individuals in Congress or local level politicians. Beginning with the advent of the so-called "Modern Presidency" during the early years of the twentieth century, the President has increasingly played an active role in government, particularly with respect to legislation--he can be considered a "policy entrepreneur." I use data on variables from 1959 to 2004 and employ the Two-Stage Conditional Maximum Likelihood …
Property Tax Levy Limits, Julie Mae. Schnee
Property Tax Levy Limits, Julie Mae. Schnee
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
In 1992, the State of Florida passed a constitutional amendment to cap the increase in the annual assessment of homestead properties. The amendment, known as Save Our Homes, has created a horizontal equity problem as neighboring homeowners may be paying substantially different amounts of property taxes on similar properties. In light of the recent property tax reform attempts, it is appropriate to analyze the effect of a change in Florida's homestead exemption and Save Our Homes provision in order to eliminate the inequity problem. In this paper I will show that by replacing the homestead exemption and Save Our Homes …
Fistful Of Facts, Peter. Salomone
Fistful Of Facts, Peter. Salomone
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
In 1919, the Soviet filmmaker Dziga Vertov declared a "death sentence" on fictional films. Vertov championed his own unique method of non-fiction filmmaking, called Kino-Eye, which is based on Vertov's ideas regarding truth in cinema. Although he does not write specifically about Vertov or film, the philosopher Nelson Goodman offers a contrasting view of truth in general. By comparing the Kino-Eye method to Goodman's philosophy, we can better understand Vertov's radical ideas and see more clearly how the concept of cinematic truth has changed over time.
Search For Self In The Postmodern Novel, Jaime Frances. Neudecker
Search For Self In The Postmodern Novel, Jaime Frances. Neudecker
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
In my thesis I look at three novels by Don DeLillo: Americana, Mao II, and Falling Man. These three novels, published in 1971, 1991, and 2007 respectively, represent the full range of DeLillo's body of work, and demonstrate a clear progression of the major themes in his writings. Each of these novels presents a protagonist who is on a journey of self-discovery, effectively seeking what many critics have identified as an outdated form of self--a Modernist notion of self. The problematic nature of identity in these novels is exacerbated by changes in representation and warfare, particularly the perceived loss of …
Role Of Church-State Conflict In The Growth Of Religious Pluralism In Latin America, Michael. Mcmillan
Role Of Church-State Conflict In The Growth Of Religious Pluralism In Latin America, Michael. Mcmillan
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
Since the 1960s Latin America has experienced a religious transformation, with several countries developing significant Protestant populations. These religious changes have influenced the political processes of several Latin American nations, playing a prominent role in elections and the formation of political platforms. Several theories attempt to account for the recent growth in religious pluralism, particularly social anomie theory and religious market models. These theories ignore or downplay the role of conflict between the state and civil society, especially violent confrontations between the government and the Roman Catholic Church. This study focuses on four case studies with varying amounts of church-state …
Pentecostalism, Development And Democracy In Latin America, Pierre A. Louis
Pentecostalism, Development And Democracy In Latin America, Pierre A. Louis
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
The recent explosive growth of Protestantism in Latin America has led a number of scholars to predict that the region may be on its way to reaching a significantly higher levels of socioeconomic development and democracy. These are important claims for a region that has struggled with both economic development and democratic consolidation. This thesis argues that Protestantism in Latin America does not follow the classical Weberian pattern of development. Because the majority of Protestant growth in the region is Pentecostal, the causal assumptions of the--culture and development school do not hold. Furthermore, a context of neoliberalism, a significant colonial …
They Forget I Am An Irishman", Mark. Goldberg-Foss
They Forget I Am An Irishman", Mark. Goldberg-Foss
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
Early twentieth-century Ireland was the setting of a complex political situation dominated by overlapping social, ideological, and ethnic conflicts. A group of working-class nationalists led by James Connolly attempted to fuse the class and national struggles, incorporating elements of nationalist cosmology, Marxist teleology, syndicalist trade-union practice, and the cultural militarization of Ireland's "physical-force" tradition. This thesis critically examines their hybrid theory and revolutionary praxis. With its analysis of the failure to realize an independent, socialist Ireland, it contributes to broader discussions of the relationship between nationalism and socialism, and the ability of these theories to address cultural heterogeneity.
Gentle Gender?, Jenna. Fitzgerald
Gentle Gender?, Jenna. Fitzgerald
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
Twelve years separate the plays Titus Andronicus and Macbeth and yet the similarities between Tamora and Lady Macbeth seem to indicate that the former served as a model for the latter female revenge character. Despite the many characteristics that connect the two powerful women, Shakespeare not only intensifies Tamora but questions her maternal traits, exaggerates her competition with the male characters, and replaces her motives for madness in order to create Lady Macbeth. While it is often assumed that a female's identity is defined through her male counterpart, the opposite is true of the male characters in Titus Andronicus and …
Own-Age Bias And Memory For Events, Danielle L. Boutté
Own-Age Bias And Memory For Events, Danielle L. Boutté
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
Event memory studies have shown that older adults typically have poorer memories for events than do younger adults. Unfortunately, these studies tested memory for events that contained only young adults as the actors. It could be that the younger adults remembered the events better due to an own-age bias. One particular type of event memory error is called unconscious transference. In unconscious transference, a binding error results in false conjunction memories. Several studies have shown that older adults are more likely to make these errors. This study aims to look more closely at the effects of own-age bias on face …
Comparative Analysis Of The French And American Judicial Systems And The Cultural Effects Of Judicial Decisions, Cynthia. Avari
Comparative Analysis Of The French And American Judicial Systems And The Cultural Effects Of Judicial Decisions, Cynthia. Avari
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
The histories of France and the United States of America are often compared alongside the judicial systems of each country. While the histories of the countries, starting with the French and American revolutions, have similarities, the judicial systems themselves are based on different schools of thought. The French method of judicial decision making is based on the Napoleonic code whereas the American method is based on that of common law. In available literature regarding comparisons of France and the United States, it is an assumption that, if the American and French judicial systems are based on different legal theories, the …
Immigrant Identity Development In The Christian Church, Diego. Arenas
Immigrant Identity Development In The Christian Church, Diego. Arenas
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
Christian churches in the United States are very diverse. The diversity seen often goes unmentioned by religion and immigration scholars who write about the key role churches play in the assimilation of Hispanic immigrants. Scholars use the word "church" in order to refer to all Christian religious institutions. The use of one word to encompass the broad range of institutions can misguide readers to believe that all Christian churches in the United States help Hispanic immigrants assimilate in the same way. This comparative study includes Anglo, Immigrant, and Transnational Christian churches throughout the United States The focus is to explore …
Jury Decision-Making, Steven. Hackett
Jury Decision-Making, Steven. Hackett
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
This thesis is a study of the empirical significance of sentencing information on jury decision-making. A challenge in conducting jury behavior research is that direct observation of jury deliberation is either illegal or impractical. Thus most studies of jury behavior are conducted using archival analysis and mock jury questionnaires. And while we have some information on the issue of jury instruction complexity on jury decision-making, we know very little about the specific role of sentencing information on jury decision-making. My research combines aspects of the jury decision-making literature with the sentencing literature, and thus fills a crucial gap in the …
Tolan Committee And The Internment Of Japanese Americans, Matthew. Saccento
Tolan Committee And The Internment Of Japanese Americans, Matthew. Saccento
Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2003 - 2009
Within three months of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which allowed military commanders to establish zones of military importance within which they could remove any person considered dangerous, specifically those of Japanese descent. The Tolan Committee, a House committee examining the logistics of the new wartime economy, was immediately sent to the West Coast in order to evaluate the merit of the President's policy. They were presented with the most complete set of arguments both supporting and opposing internment, and were therefore in a unique position to make a well-informed decision regarding …

The Relationship Of E-Commerce Readiness To Technology Acceptance: The Case Of Barbados, Jude E. Edwards, Leila A. Halawi, Richard Mccarthy
Publications
This is an exploratory study that examines the relationship between selected components of ecommerce readiness and dimensions of Davis’ (1989) Technology Acceptance Model. Building upon the notion that there exists some linkage between ecommerce readiness and technology Acceptance, this study seeks to examine these linkages in e-businesses within Barbados. Three relationships are proposed – a relationship between technology acceptance and the existing e-Readiness infrastructure, a relationship between technology acceptance and current telecommunications access, and a relationship between technology acceptance and education. The results of this study demonstrated that there are strong relationships between e-commerce readiness components and various technology acceptance …
Document Selection For Extracting Entity And Relationship Instances Of Terrorist Events, Zhen Sun, Ee Peng Lim, Kuiyu Chang, Maggy Anastasia Suryanto, Rohan Kumar Gunaratna
Document Selection For Extracting Entity And Relationship Instances Of Terrorist Events, Zhen Sun, Ee Peng Lim, Kuiyu Chang, Maggy Anastasia Suryanto, Rohan Kumar Gunaratna
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this chapter, we study the problem of selecting documents so as to extract terrorist event information from a collection of documents. We represent an event by its entity and relation instances. Very often, these entity and relation instances have to be extracted from multiple documents. We therefore define an information extraction (IE) task as selecting documents and extracting from which entity and relation instances relevant to a user-specified event (aka domain specific event entity and relation extraction). We adopt domain specific IE patterns to extract potentially relevant entity and relation instances from documents, and develop a number of document …
Elevated Temperature Behavior Of A Magnesium Based Bulk Metallic Glass, Neal C. Ross
Elevated Temperature Behavior Of A Magnesium Based Bulk Metallic Glass, Neal C. Ross
Masters Theses
"Bulk metallic glasses are a new material set that possess interesting and exceptional engineering properties. Their study has been a major focus of research in metallurgy since the early 1990s, and recently their properties have led to application in specialized applications. Limitations including material cost, maximum attainable cast diameters, and high density have prevented the widespread use of these materials. In particular, the high density of most bulk metallic glasses has significantly reduced their appeal to the aerospace community. In an effort to overcome this, research is being performed on producing lower density glass forming systems based on magnesium and …

Critical Infrastructure Protection And The Domain Name Service (Dns) System, Mark Edward Snyder
Critical Infrastructure Protection And The Domain Name Service (Dns) System, Mark Edward Snyder
Masters Theses
"Components of the critical infrastructure of any system are natural targets for attack. Any inherent weakness of such components can potentially expose the entire system to vulnerability. The Domain Name System (DNS) is one component of the proper functioning of the Internet. Although DNS is a relatively simple, isolated component, it serves as a straightforward example for the study of distributed systems in general, and as such, we have explored properties of DNS to examine how enterprise-scale, critical infrastructure components are vulnerable to attack, what protections are afforded to defenders of such components, the inherent weaknesses of such systems, and …

Emerging Biotechnologies Demand Defeat Of Proposed Legislation That Attempts To Ban Gene Patents, Gregory C. Ellis
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
In October 2006, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering a process known as RNA interference in the soil nematode Caenorhaditis elegans. More commonly known as RNAi, this process has great therapeutic significance for humans because of its ability to specifically and efficiently regulate gene expression. The capacity to easily regulate gene expression will tremendously impact our ability to combat a wide variety of disorders ranging from cancer to infectious diseases. While the mechanism of RNAi was first published within the last decade, three RNAi-based human therapies are already in clinical trails.
Digital Currencies And The Financing Of Terrorism, William Hett
Digital Currencies And The Financing Of Terrorism, William Hett
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Informal money transfers present a significant challenge to combating the financing of terrorist organizations worldwide. Although the U.S. and other governments have implemented measures to restrict terrorist financing, these measures were designed to regulate formal financial institutions. Accordingly, those seeking to avoid detection have turned to other methods of transferring money, such as commodities trades, hawala, and digital currencies. Many terrorist operations do not require large sums of money, making the detection and prevention of even modest transfers important. For example, the September 11 Commission estimated the cost of carrying out the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings, which killed 224 people …
Subcellular Localization Of Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 Tax Oncoprotein, Kimberly Anne Fryrear
Subcellular Localization Of Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 Tax Oncoprotein, Kimberly Anne Fryrear
Theses and Dissertations in Biomedical Sciences
Human T-cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) is a transforming retrovirus that gives rise to Adult T-cell Leukemia (ATL) and a variety of other subneoplastic conditions such as HTLV-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraperesis (HAM/TSP). In ATL, the transformation and immortalization of T-lymphocytes has been attributed to the expression and activity of a single HTLV-1 viral protein, namely the trans-activating protein Tax. Although the exact mechanism of Tax-mediated transformation is uncertain, current studies support a model in which Tax induces genomic instability in the host cell through interference with DNA repair mechanisms, dysregulation of cell cycle progression, transcriptional activation of cellular …
