Perpetration Of Gross Human Rights Violations In South Africa: Association With Psychiatric Disorders, Dan J. Stein, Stacey L. Williams, Pamela B. Jackson, Soraya Seedat, Landon Myer, Allen Herman, David R. Williams Sep 2009

Perpetration Of Gross Human Rights Violations In South Africa: Association With Psychiatric Disorders, Dan J. Stein, Stacey L. Williams, Pamela B. Jackson, Soraya Seedat, Landon Myer, Allen Herman, David R. Williams

ETSU Faculty Works

Background. A nationally representative study of psychiatric disorders in South Africa provided an opportunity to study the association between perpetration of human rights violations (HRVs) during apartheid and psychiatric disorder. Prior work has suggested an association between perpetration and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but this remains controversial. Methods. Subjects reported on their perpetration of human rights violations, purposeful injury, accidental injury and domestic violence. Lifetime and 12-month prevalence of DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 4th edition) disorders were assessed with Version 3.0 of the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI 3.0). Socio-demographic characteristics of these groups were calculated. …

Progress Toward The Synthesis Of A Truncated Ergoline, Ryan D. Enck, Matthew Hart Sep 2009

Progress Toward The Synthesis Of A Truncated Ergoline, Ryan D. Enck, Matthew Hart

Student Summer Scholars Manuscripts

Many people are diagnosed with thyroid related disorders, and many more are unaware of their existing thyroid problems. T1AM, a naturally occurring metabolite of the thyroid hormone (TH), has been shown to activate the Trace Amine Associated Receptor 1 (TAAR1) and exhibits effects that oppose those of the TH. It is, therefore, likely that there is regulatory relationship between T1AM and the TH. In order to better understand this relationship, a compound must be developed that will effectively block TAAR1. Previously our lab has examined the two different mirror images of apomorphine. One of the mirror images inhibited and the …


Age, Segment, And Horn Disease Affect Expression Of Cytokines, Growth Factors, And Receptors In The Epidermis And Dermis Of The Bovine Claw, J.A. Mills, D.S. Zarlenga, P.L. Habecker, R.M. Dyers Sep 2009

Age, Segment, And Horn Disease Affect Expression Of Cytokines, Growth Factors, And Receptors In The Epidermis And Dermis Of The Bovine Claw, J.A. Mills, D.S. Zarlenga, P.L. Habecker, R.M. Dyers

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

The aim of this study was to examine changes in RNA expression for growth factors, cytokines, and receptors in epidermal-dermal tissues of the bovine claw relative to hostage, claw segment, and disease state of the horn. Epidermal-dermal tissues were collected from the coronary, wall, sole, and bulb segments of 8- to 9-mo-old Holstein fetuses, normal adult cows, and adult cows with sole ulceration. Anatomic and pathologic characteristics were determined in tissues stained with eosin and hematoxylin, and RNA expression levels were evaluated using real-time, quantitative PCR. In normal tissues, certain RNA expression levels were clearly affected by hostage: 290.0-, 610.0-, …

Math And Me [9th Grade], Mckinley Rich Sep 2009

Math And Me [9th Grade], Mckinley Rich

Understanding by Design: Complete Collection

The purpose of this unit is to have students question and analyze their opinions about mathematics. Students, particularly in math, have very strong perceptions of themselves as a learner. These self-perceptions have many different roots, and in this unit students will analyze the origin and perpetuation of such perceptions. Through a series of articles and some moments of self-reflection, students will look for answers to the questions: “What perceptions do I have about math?” and “What has shaped and will continue to shape my perceptions about math?”. While this is unlike 99% of math units, I believe that in order …

The Big Lift: Federal Policy Efforts To Create Child Development Accounts (Cdas), Reid Cramer Sep 2009

The Big Lift: Federal Policy Efforts To Create Child Development Accounts (Cdas), Reid Cramer

Center for Social Development Research

Children’s accounts have been proposed as a means for creating an inclusive and accessible system for asset building throughout the life course. The idea gained traction in multiple settings, leading to a series of policies and demonstration projects across the globe. In the United Kingdom, the policy was adopted in the form of the Child Trust Fund program which began in 2005. a privately-funded project called the SEED Demonstration was launched in the United States in 2003. During this period a number of different children’s savings account policy proposals have been made at the federal level in the United States. …

Asset Building In Puerto Rico: A Study Of Children's Development Accounts In Caguas, Sergio Marxuach Sep 2009

Asset Building In Puerto Rico: A Study Of Children's Development Accounts In Caguas, Sergio Marxuach

Center for Social Development Research

In this paper we examine the establishment and operations of a CDA program in Caguas, Puerto Rico. This program affords us an opportunity to test whether asset-building policies can provide a new approach to social welfare in Latin American countries and Hispanic communities in the United States, a middle way between paternalistic, government-based social programs on the one hand and so-called neo-liberal approaches on the other. First we provide a brief summary of Latin America and Puerto Rico’s institutional heritage. We then make a case for implementing CDAs in Puerto Rico and Latin America based on and largely derived from …


Child Development Accounts And Saving For Children's Future: Do Financial Incentives Matter?, Lisa Reyes Mason, Yunju Nam, Margaret Clancy, Youngmi Kim, Vernon Loke Sep 2009

Child Development Accounts And Saving For Children's Future: Do Financial Incentives Matter?, Lisa Reyes Mason, Yunju Nam, Margaret Clancy, Youngmi Kim, Vernon Loke

Center for Social Development Research

This study examines savings outcomes in the first large-scale demonstration of Child Development Accounts (CDAs) in the United States—the Saving for Education, Entrepreneurship, and Downpayment (SEED) initiative. It is also the first empirical study, to our knowledge, to investigate associations between savings outcomes and incentives in an asset-building program for children. This study enhances knowledge about saving in CDAs, incentives in public policy in general, and incentives in savings policy in particular. Results can inform CDA policy design.


Tribal Innovations In Children's Accounts, Miriam Jorgensen, Peter Morris Sep 2009

Tribal Innovations In Children's Accounts, Miriam Jorgensen, Peter Morris

Center for Social Development Research

An important frontier in savings policy and research is the effectiveness of accounts at birth. This paper presents ideas and initial findings from the experience of American Indian nations—America’s first asset-builders—with such policies. It describes the motivations for creating “minors’ accounts,” which are offered by approximately 70 tribes. These tribes are the only jurisdictions in the nation to offer universal, unrestricted accounts for children. Increasingly, they also are using conditions and incentives to promote their policy goals. Their experiences and ideas offer important insights for mainstream policy makers and program managers (in the US and elsewhere) about how to design …


Overview Of Child Development Accounts In Developing Countries, Jeff Meyer, Rainier D. Masa, Jamie M. Zimmerman Sep 2009

Overview Of Child Development Accounts In Developing Countries, Jeff Meyer, Rainier D. Masa, Jamie M. Zimmerman

Center for Social Development Research

Child Development Accounts (CDAs) as a matter of policy have existed for some time, though predominantly in developed countries. While there are at least a few government social programs with CDA components in the developing world, such policies have yet to gain significant traction. This paper finds that despite this lack of policy movement, CDAs do exist in developing countries in a variety of forms and delivered by a diverse group of institutions. Government-linked institutions (such as savings and post banks); non-governmental institutions (such as credit unions and NGOs); and commercial financial institutions are all innovating in CDA design and …


The Child Trust Fund In The Uk: Policy Challenges And Potential Responses, Rajiv Prabhakar Sep 2009

The Child Trust Fund In The Uk: Policy Challenges And Potential Responses, Rajiv Prabhakar

Center for Social Development Research

The United Kingdom introduced the Child Trust Fund (CTF) policy, a children’s savings policy, in 2002. a focus group study conducted on parental attitudes to the CTF (Prabhakar, 2006, 2007) identified main reasons why CTF accounts were left unopened. This paper explores different ways that non-opening of accounts might be reduced. One strategy draws upon recent developments in behavioral economics and points to different ways that the CTF may be designed. an alternative strategy emphasises the role of financial education of parents as a way of addressing their concerns and increasing the opening rates of these accounts. The paper also …

The Rationale For Developing Global Competence, Alan Parkinson Sep 2009

The Rationale For Developing Global Competence, Alan Parkinson

Online Journal for Global Engineering Education

This paper addresses three questions related to the rationale for global engineering education. These questions are, Why do engineering students need to have a new set of skills, which we will collectively refer to as “global competence?” What does it mean for students to have global competence? and, What are the most important attributes of global competence? In answer to the first question, we discuss the forces and events of the past 20 years which have driven the globalization of engineering. In answer to the second question, we present 13 dimensions of global competence. To answer the third question, we …
