Mexican Immigrant Parents' Beliefs And Practices Related To Literacy, Pamela M. Spurgeon Jan 2008

Mexican Immigrant Parents' Beliefs And Practices Related To Literacy, Pamela M. Spurgeon

Education Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to describe the literacy practices and beliefs exhibited by immigrant parents of Mexican descent in Oregon. The researcher collected data using a questionnaire and examined the correlation between generational differences of immigrants and respondents' beliefs and practices regarding reading and writing. From the survey sample, the researcher selected 5 representative families for observations and interviews to further explore how literacy is practiced in Mexican immigrant families' homes and daily lives. The belief regarding whether or not children begin learning before they go to school generated the most disagreement amongst participants. Data correlating acculturation and …

The Relevance Of Confucian Philosophy To Modern Concepts Of Leadership And Followership, Sujeeta Dhakhwa, Stacey Enriquez Jan 2008

The Relevance Of Confucian Philosophy To Modern Concepts Of Leadership And Followership, Sujeeta Dhakhwa, Stacey Enriquez

All Volumes (2001-2008)

The purpose of this paper is to discuss Confucian philosophy and compare its relevance to modern concepts of leadership and followership. It will demonstrate that both exemplify the same ideology, though separated by centuries of history. The paper first introduces the reader to the history of Chinese government and the life of Confucius as a teacher. Then it will expand on the importance of understanding his philosophy on leadership and followership as well as its impact on China’s political and cultural development. It will then examine three Confucian teachings on leadership and three on followership. Finally, with this information, it …


The Simon Effect As A Function Of Temporal Overlap Between Relevant And Irrelevant, Leslie Ann Drummond Jan 2008

The Simon Effect As A Function Of Temporal Overlap Between Relevant And Irrelevant, Leslie Ann Drummond

All Volumes (2001-2008)

The Simon effect refers to an advantage in performance in a reaction time task when stimulus location corresponds to that of its response location even though the location of the stimulus is irrelevant. For example, if red or green color squares are presented randomly to the left or the right side, participants might be instructed to make a left response for the red square and right response for the green square. Reaction time is faster when the red square is presented on the left rather than on the right, and vice versa for the green square.


Pardon Our French: French Stereotypes In American Media, Lauren Ferber Jan 2008

Pardon Our French: French Stereotypes In American Media, Lauren Ferber

All Volumes (2001-2008)

According to the mental models approach to media effects, Americans with no French contact are more likely to believe media display a more accurate picture of the French culture than in reality. Forty undergraduate students participated in a study to test the following hypotheses: (1) Viewers without French contact will accept more stereotypical statements than viewers with French contact (2) Viewers with French contact will have a longer response latency when assessing the truth value of stereotypical statements. Twenty participants had previous knowledge or experience of French culture and 20 did not. The participants watched a film clip, answered questionnaires, …


Characterization Of The Basigin-Mct1 Complex In Vertebrate Retina, Vilma S. Carson Jan 2008

Characterization Of The Basigin-Mct1 Complex In Vertebrate Retina, Vilma S. Carson

All Volumes (2001-2008)

It has been hypothesized that the cell adhesion molecule Basigin and the lactate transporter monocarboxylate transporter-1 (MCT1) interact to form a lactate shuttle necessary to fuel photoreceptor neurons in the retina. The purpose of this study was to characterize the interaction between the two proteins. Specifically, the amino acids within MCT1 that interact with Basigin were investigated. MCT1 is a large protein. Therefore, the complementary DNA (cDNA) for MCT1 was divided in half via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and each half was cloned into a bacterial expression vector to generate protein probes. The probes were then used to test …


The Aural In Beloved, Jody Morgan Jan 2008

The Aural In Beloved, Jody Morgan

All Volumes (2001-2008)

I know that my effort is to be like something that has probably only been fully expressed perhaps in music . . . Writing novels is a way to encompass this-this something. Toni Morrison (Mckay, 152) In an interview with Christina Davis, Toni Morrison describes her writing as “aural literature . . . because I do hear it” (230). Beloved is a particularly rich example of Morrison’s “aural literature”, literature which sounds and resounds. In an interview with Paul Gilroy, Morrison elaborates that these sounds are primarily musical: “My parallel is always the music, because all of the strategies of …


Assessing Babesia Microti Sensu Lato In Small Mammals In Northeast Florida, Kyla Marie Savick Jan 2008

Assessing Babesia Microti Sensu Lato In Small Mammals In Northeast Florida, Kyla Marie Savick

All Volumes (2001-2008)

Babesia microti is the causative agent of human babesiosis. Black-legged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) are the only proven vector and white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) serve as the main reservoir in northeastern United States. The aim of the present study was to determine if B. microti is present in small mammals in southeastern United States and to compare strains found in this study to reference strains from around the world. Blood samples were obtained from cotton mice, cotton rats, a flying squirrel, golden mice, rice rats, Virginia opossums, wood rats, and raccoons in northeastern Florida. DNA was extracted from the blood, and …


The Effect Of Collective Bargaining On The Use Of Innovative Police Policy, Kyle Christopher Veatch Jan 2008

The Effect Of Collective Bargaining On The Use Of Innovative Police Policy, Kyle Christopher Veatch

All Volumes (2001-2008)

While there have been numerous studies examining certain aspects of the effects of collective bargaining, there have yet to be any empirical studies on the effects of collective bargaining on the use of police policy. This study looks to address this issue by examining the impact of collective bargaining on the use of three currently innovative police policies: early warning systems, civilian review boards, and the use of in-car cameras. Using data from the 2003 Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey, we look at municipal agencies with over 100 officers. Using bi-variate analyses we compare each of the …


The Cultural House In Ostrov And Its Relation To Czech Secession Style, Dita Dlugosova-Knappova Jan 2008

The Cultural House In Ostrov And Its Relation To Czech Secession Style, Dita Dlugosova-Knappova

All Volumes (2001-2008)

Architecture in the former Czechoslovakia was heavily dominated by Soviet influence after the Communist Coup in February 1948. The research presented in this paper focuses on a building called the Cultural House, which was created during the worst times of political repression in the 1950s in a small town of Ostrov, located on the Czech western border with Germany. (Fig.1) It is in my opinion that for the Cultural House in this town, Czech architects were able to integrate their Austrian and Czech teachers’ ideas from the pre-World War II period and mixed Secession styles with Socialist Realism, in part …


Structure On Attitude Polarization, Ryan Gladding Jan 2008

Structure On Attitude Polarization, Ryan Gladding

All Volumes (2001-2008)

People hold attitudes about a wide range of issues. People hold attitudes about issues ranging from toothpaste brands to foreign policies. One issue, for example, that has recently become salient in both the United States and Europe is illegal immigration. Consider two people sitting around discussing current affairs. One person mentions illegal immigration. The other person states that immigration is becoming a problem, but there are other things the government should worry about first. After a few minutes of thought, the gentleman that stated the government should worry about other things first blurts out that illegal immigration will be the …

Social Science And The Evolving Standards Of Death Penalty Law, Samuel R. Gross, Phoebe C. Ellsworth Jan 2008

Social Science And The Evolving Standards Of Death Penalty Law, Samuel R. Gross, Phoebe C. Ellsworth

Book Chapters

Unlike many of the topics covered in this book, death penalty litigation involves a wide variety of empirical issues. The Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides that "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted." But what is a "cruel and unusual punishment?" It could be a punishment that is morally unacceptable to the American people, like cutting off noses or hands. Following the other clauses of the amendment, it could be a punishment that is excessive, in that a lesser penalty would achieve the same ends. For example, if a …


Spatial And Seasonal Variations In The Pelagic–Benthic Coupling Of The Southeastern Beaufort Sea Revealed By Sedimentary Biomarkers, Nathalie Morata, Paul E. Renaud, Sonia Brugel, Keith A. Hobson, Beverly J. Johnson Jan 2008

Spatial And Seasonal Variations In The Pelagic–Benthic Coupling Of The Southeastern Beaufort Sea Revealed By Sedimentary Biomarkers, Nathalie Morata, Paul E. Renaud, Sonia Brugel, Keith A. Hobson, Beverly J. Johnson

All Faculty Scholarship

Photosynthetic pigments and stable isotopes from suspended particulate organic matter (POM) and surface sediment of the southeast Beaufort Sea, including the Mackenzie shelf and the Amundsen Gulf, were studied during fall 2003 and summer 2004. This multiple-biomarker approach led to an increased understanding of spatial and seasonal variation in pelagic–benthic coupling, as these 2 biomarkers reflect inherent differences in the time scales over which they integrate. Sedimentary pigments highlighted the importance of local water-column production as a source of phytodetrital inputs to the sea floor. In the summer, the dominance of diatoms in the water column was reflected in the …

A Review Of Barriers To Biofuel Market Development In The United States, Karl R. Rábago Jan 2008

A Review Of Barriers To Biofuel Market Development In The United States, Karl R. Rábago

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

In recent years, biofuel markets have begun a resurgence. At one time, biofuels were the only way humanity obtained useful energy, but they were almost totally displaced by fossil fuels during the last century. Now, due to a range of drivers, they have begun a small but seemingly solid comeback. This Article reviews the remaining barriers to full commercial success for biofuels in the United States with an emphasis on transportation fuels. While recent success has been impressive, markets for transportation biofuels are hardly “self-sustaining” in the purest sense of the concept. The author does not seek to disparage the …

Does Political Bias In The Judiciary Matter?: Implications Of Judicial Bias Studies For Legal And Constitutional Reform, Eric A. Posner Jan 2008

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 …
