Exploring Prayer Contexts And Health Outcomes: From The Chair To The Pew, E. James Baesler, Kevin Ladd
Communication & Theatre Arts Faculty Publications
Prayer in personal, interpersonal, small, and large group contexts is described in relationship to physical, psychological, and spiritual health. A sample of college and middle-aged adults (N = 189) completed cross-sectional surveys. Quantitative analyses revealed that prayer in all contexts predicted higher levels of spiritual health, and that the strongest prayer predictors of health were: large group prayer for mental health, and private and large group prayer for spiritual health. Qualitative results revealed that prayers for physical health in close personal relationships, and table blessing prayers among family members, were two of the most common types of prayer. Suggestions for …

Gerontechnology is an interdisciplinary field that links existing and developing technologies to the aspirations and needs of aging and aged adults. It helps support ‘successful aging’, is organized according to the WHO definition of health, and is a response to the combination of the aging of society and rapidly emerging new technologies. Distinguishing it from other technology approaches is its focus on the total human life-span, its recognition of different technology generations, its cross-fertilization of specific technology and gerontology disciplines, its public health goals and the encompassing of all domains of human activity. An enhanced quality of life in older …

Gender And The Rule Of Law In Transitional Societies, Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, Michael Hamilton
Articles
This article examines a unique relationship—specifically, the connection between the rule of law, as it is imported and experienced in post-conflict/post-repression societies, and gender. We assert that some of the most gendered and problematic dimensions of rule of law discourse and practice can arise with intensity in post-conflict or post-repressive societies. In particular, we explore a fundamental contradiction. Transitional societies bring powerful and transformative moments to global attention.
Deconcentration, Counter-Urbanization, Or Trend Reversal? The Population Distribution Of Switzerland, Revisited, Mulugeta Kahsai, Peter V. Schaeffer
Deconcentration, Counter-Urbanization, Or Trend Reversal? The Population Distribution Of Switzerland, Revisited, Mulugeta Kahsai, Peter V. Schaeffer
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
This study analyzes trends in the population distribution of Switzerland, with focus on the period 1980-2000. It updates and extends an earlier study (Schaeffer, 1992a). The extensions include analyses of population distribution trends by region and citizenship. Results show that Switzerland experienced deconcentration in the 1970s at the cantonal level, and in the 1980s and 1990s at the district level. The results also show a trend of moving away from large densely populated districts to small, sparsely populated and medium sized districts. There was a strong suburbanization trend starting the 1950s and counter-urbanization during 1980-2000. The core urban areas experienced …
Working Hard And Barely Making It: Ideological Contradictions And The Working Poor, Wendi Kane
Working Hard And Barely Making It: Ideological Contradictions And The Working Poor, Wendi Kane
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The existence of large, relatively comfortable, middle and working classes is what has set the advanced capitalist societies apart from most societies throughout history. These classes, while not quite "privileged," offer the hope of opportunity and upward social mobility for those who work hard. Yet in the last 30 years a growing class of "working poor" has emerged who invest many hours working but at wages that keep upward social mobility beyond their grasp. The existence of the working poor, it seems, dispels a key element in the ideology of individualism; they work hard yet do not "get ahead." This …

Marital Satisfaction: Factors For Black Jamaicans And African Americansx Living In The United States, Nvischi Edwards
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Marital satisfaction is the strongest predictor for happiness in many areas of life (Russel & Wells, 1994). A satisfying marriage is associated with better general adjustment and fewer health problems (Bray & Jouriles, 1995). Factors that contribute to marital satisfaction reported by researchers include religion and spirituality (Anthony, 1993; Marks et al., 2008; Shehas, Boch & Lee, 1990), family of origin dynamics (Cohn, Silver, Cowan, Cowan, & Pearson, 1992; Webster, Orbuch, & House, 1995), and quality of family relationships (Timer, Veroff, & Hatchett, 1996). Additionally, satisfying marriages are beneficial to couples and children of these marriages. The purpose of this …

Social Media & Conservation: Creating A Water-Conservation Awareness Campaign On The Whittier College Campus, Juliette Donatelli
Whittier Scholars Program
In June 2008, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed an executive order declaring a statewide drought. Water levels continue to drop in reservoirs, like Lake Powell, but demand is rising as population grows. What if the solution to water shortages is not to exploit new water sources, but to educate communities about water conservation? My senior project tests the results of a pre and post-awareness campaign I conducted in the Whittier College community. I recorded the total amount of water used on campus for two months (by looking at the water bills); then I created a series of graphic design posters, …

Jane Austen: Bildungsroman, Socioeconomics, And The Feminine Community, Erica P. Lindquist
Whittier Scholars Program
Eighteenth-century romantic comedies are the lenses through which the novels of juvenilia of Jane Austen are often viewed. However, like all art, Austen’s literature can be viewed on several different levels. Particular elements in Austen’s works that are not always focused on are the importance of the three elements of a bildungsroman, socioeconomics, and the feminine community. These aspects play essential parts in the development of the characters and their romantic relationships but also can be distanced from the general theme of a romantic comedy and observed on their individual merits; in effect, they are essential to the overall plot …

Information Overload: Cctv, Your Networks, Communities And Crime, Vandra Harris, Crispin Harris
Australian Security and Intelligence Conference
Electronic surveillance continues to play a central but often unobserved role in contemporary Western societies and attempts to police them. This paper focuses on closed circuit television (CCTV) footage and its technological implications, particularly relating infrastructure and data storage and integrity. While CCTV might appear attractive in augmenting law enforcement systems, the authors argue that the debate on use of CCTV in crime prevention remains incomplete without an effective understanding of the diverse costs. This discussion reveals startling ICT resource needs and associated costs, together with very specific technological capacity. These contribute significantly to the costs of such systems, reinforcing …

Professional Intelligence Judgement Artistry: Some Early Observations, Jeff Corkill
Australian Security and Intelligence Conference
Intelligence analysis is critical national security and law enforcement function dependant on the intellectual capacity of individual analysts. The practice of intelligence is undertaken in an extremely complex environment often under a veil of secrecy, and where uncertain and deceptive information represents the norm. In order to develop as a profession appropriate constructs with which to explore and explain how analysts process intelligence, make decisions and reach judgements are needed. An improved understanding will offer opportunities to develop appropriate training and professional development for intelligence analysts. This paper introduces the construct of Professional Intelligence Judgement Artistry together with some very …

Firearm Forensics Based On Ballistics Cartridge Case Image Segmentation Using Colour Invariants, Dongguang Li
Australian Security and Intelligence Conference
Ballistics firearm identification based on image processing is of paramount importance in criminal investigation. The efficiency of traditional ballistics imaging system is heavily dependent upon the expertise and experience of end-user. An intelligent ballistics imaging system is highly demanded to address this issues. The segmentation of cartridge case object from the original image is a key step to subsequent process. It is very difficult to segment cartridge case from the original image using traditional threshold based methods due to the shadows or unlimited environments to acquire image. In this paper, we proposed a novel approach based upon the colour invariant …

Faith-Based Assumptions About Performance: Does Church Affiliation Matter For Service Quality And Access?, Anna A. Amirkhanyan, Hyun Joon Kim, Kristina T. Lambright
Faith-Based Assumptions About Performance: Does Church Affiliation Matter For Service Quality And Access?, Anna A. Amirkhanyan, Hyun Joon Kim, Kristina T. Lambright
Public Administration Faculty Scholarship
To date, the common rhetoric and assumptions on the performance of faith-based organizations (FBOs), ironically, appear to be faith based rather than empirically supported: There is a paucity of research evaluating the effectiveness of FBOs that uses sufficiently rigorous methods and multiple measures of organizational performance. This study seeks to inform the debate on the relative effectiveness of FBOs by comparing religiously affiliated and secular nonprofit nursing homes using two distinct but complementary measures of organizational performance: service quality and access for impoverished clients. Using nationally representative panel data on 11,877 church-affiliated and secular nonprofit nursing homes, this study examines …

Elements Of The Gothic In Heavy Metal: A Match Made In Hell, Bryan Bardine
Elements Of The Gothic In Heavy Metal: A Match Made In Hell, Bryan Bardine
English Faculty Publications
Since the first heavy metal album, Black Sabbath (1970) by Black Sabbath, elements of the Gothic have pervaded the genre, whether in the lyrics, the dress of both the bands and the fans, the album covers, the sound or the culture itself. Bands during the period 1970- 83 (roughly), including Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon and Motӧrhead, to name a few, incorporated various aspects of the Gothic into their lyrics, dress, stage shows and albums, and in doing so helped to give heavy metal a stronger, more powerful image with fans and media alike. More important than the …
Evolving Innovation Paradigms And The Global Intellectual Property Regime, Katherine J. Strandburg
Evolving Innovation Paradigms And The Global Intellectual Property Regime, Katherine J. Strandburg
Faculty Articles
Since the negotiation of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS) in 1994, the innovative landscape has undergone dramatic changes due to technological advances in fields such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, and digital communications and computation. The increasing potential for user innovation, and open and collaborative innovation has brought an explosion of innovative activity that does not fit into the sales-oriented, mass market model which underlies the global intellectual property regime. In this Article, I argue that the debate over global governance of innovation should be expanded to account more fully for the implications of these changes. For the …

An Empire Of Law: Chancellor Kent And The Revolution In Books In The Early Republic, Daniel J. Hulsebosch
An Empire Of Law: Chancellor Kent And The Revolution In Books In The Early Republic, Daniel J. Hulsebosch
Faculty Articles
Drawing on James Kent's law library, this Essay illuminates one aspect of the post-colonial British influence on early American legal culture: a revolution in books in the Atlantic world that coincided with the American Revolution. This book revolution was a condition precedent for the way that leading jurists like Chancellor Kent of New York conceived of law and also shaped the media through which they communicated law. The book revolution had many causes and resulted in an explosion of English print that spread across the Atlantic through the copyright-free haven of Dublin. This transatlantic network of copyright arbitrageurs - they …

The article focuses on the decision of the U.S. government during World War II to intern people of Japanese ancestry. The move of the government was designed to establish the extent to which, and precisely how, the nation's Supreme Court acquiesced in various aspects of internment and to show the continuities between that acquiescence and legal doctrine and social practices. Details on the Naturalization Act of 1790 are also considered.

Community & Environmental Health Faculty Publications
In a 2001 report, the U.S. National Institutes of Health called for more integration of the social sciences into health-related research, including research guided by theories and methods that take social and cultural systems into consideration. Based on a theoretical framework that integrates Hofstede's cultural dimensions with sociological theory, the authors used multilevel modeling to explore the association of culture with structural inequality and health disparities. Their results support the idea that cultural dimensions and social structure, along with economic development, may account for much of the cross-national variation in the distribution of health inequalities. Sensitivity tests also suggest that …

On June 27, 2006, the Surgeon General issued a report indicating that there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke. SMU’s current Smoking Policy was last revised May 4, 1998. Because of new medical, legal, and social indicators, our team believes that a review of that Smoking Policy is needed.
