Whom Would Jesus Cover - A Biblical, Ethical Lens For The Contemporary American Health Care Debate, Jeffrey R. Baker Jan 2010

Whom Would Jesus Cover - A Biblical, Ethical Lens For The Contemporary American Health Care Debate, Jeffrey R. Baker

Journal of Law and Health

This paper attempts a view of the contemporary health care debate in America through the prism of Biblical scripture and proposes that people of faith should recognize the current state of the American health care system as a moral crisis of justice and charity. First, I provide a survey of the current state of American health care for the uninsured, describing the demographic and economic circumstances of the uninsured and the resources available to them when they need medical care. Second, I ask whether, in light of scripture, this state of affairs presents a moral question that should drive our …

What's All The Headache: Reform Needed To Cope With The Effects Of Concussions In Football, Erika A. Diehl

Journal of Law and Health

In order to effectively manage this public health concern, it is imperative to gain an understanding of the issues surrounding head injuries in sporting events. This Note will discuss the increasing frequency and dangers of concussions in amateur and professional football.

In order to do so, this Note introduces a medical overview of concussions, while briefly outlining the diagnosis, long-term effects, and management of concussions.

Progress In The Challenge To Regulate Online Pharmacies, Jeff Karberg Jan 2010

Progress In The Challenge To Regulate Online Pharmacies, Jeff Karberg

Journal of Law and Health

Imagine for a moment that after borrowing a credit card, a teenager strolls down the block to the local pharmacy. At the pharmacy, a doctor is at the door waiting and willing to prescribe anything to anyone. After answering a few questions, the teenager receives his prescription, where he takes it to the drug counter and places an order for a dangerous amount of painkillers. Imagine further that the teenager develops an addiction to the drugs and purchases an increased dosage each visit until finally, the teen dies from an overdose from the easily obtained prescription drugs. The situation described …

Not Of Woman Born: How Ectogenesis Will Change The Way We View Viability, Birth, And The Status Of The Unborn, Eric Steiger Jan 2010

Not Of Woman Born: How Ectogenesis Will Change The Way We View Viability, Birth, And The Status Of The Unborn, Eric Steiger

Journal of Law and Health

Over seventy-five years ago, Aldous Huxley envisioned a future in which the creation of human individuals is not left to chance and sweaty biology, but is a feat of engineering individuals to established specifications. Huxley described a process by which human ova are fertilized in-vitro, then "budded" through an imaginary technique into multiple copies, and finally into identical twins in incubators, entirely absent of a mother's womb. While many of Huxley's predictions about the future have come to pass, such as helicopters, the assembly line, and indeed, in-vitro fertilization, the prospect of ectogenesis, of gestating a child completely outside of …

Microenterprises Performance Under Consulting Services And Clustering: A Study Of Egypt And Turkey, Ahmad Zia Wahdat Jan 2010

Microenterprises Performance Under Consulting Services And Clustering: A Study Of Egypt And Turkey, Ahmad Zia Wahdat

Honors Papers

Besides access to credit, the presence of consulting services and formation of clusters play an important role in microenterprises performance. I analyze the impact of consulting services and clustering on microenterprises' profits and assets in Egypt and Turkey, using a unique dataset on medium and small enterprises in both countries. I find that use of consulting services, and clustering, positively affect the profits and assets of microenterprises.

Transient Bodies And The Whiteness Of Memory: The “Nature” Of Permanence In Big Sur, Ca, 1862 - 1937, Rusty Bartels Jan 2010

Transient Bodies And The Whiteness Of Memory: The “Nature” Of Permanence In Big Sur, Ca, 1862 - 1937, Rusty Bartels

Honors Papers

This thesis explores the development of Big Sur, California from the Homestead Act in 1862 until the opening of the Carmel-San Simeon Highway in 1937. I trace Big Sur's economy from one based on the extraction of natural resources to one based on tourism. Throughout this era, the existence of a racialized division of labor has remained a part of Big Sur's economies. The presence and histories of labor and race along the Big Sur coast has often been hidden beneath the more prominent histories of the original homesteading families and of the region's landscape and environment. This work seeks …

An Anxiety Of Authenticity? Fusion Musics And Tunisian Identity, Rachel R. Colwell Jan 2010

An Anxiety Of Authenticity? Fusion Musics And Tunisian Identity, Rachel R. Colwell

Honors Papers

The analytical trope of "hybridity" has a troubled past in the social sciences. The careless adoption of scientific terminology without adaptation to cultural contexts can result in dangerous consequences for ethnomusicology. This paper challenges, and ultimately accepts, the efficacy of "hybridity" as a model for musical contact. Mindful of essentialization, post-colonial situations, and the perils of over-generalization, ethnomusicology holds sophisticated tools for examining local understandings of hybridity and the role that fusions play in shaping identities. Approaching musics from internal perspectives returns agency to musicians and listeners, liberating the local experience from the cloaking paradigm of "hybridity" as a strict …

Power To Choose?: An Analysis Of The Implications Of Gardasil For Immigrant Women, Olimpia Lee Pizzardi Jan 2010

Power To Choose?: An Analysis Of The Implications Of Gardasil For Immigrant Women, Olimpia Lee Pizzardi

Honors Papers

When the HPV vaccine, Gardasil, first entered the U.S. market in 2006, its groundbreaking promise to prevent cervical cancer and its status as a costly, gender-specific drug captured the nation's attention. Two years later, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) began to require the HPV vaccine from immigrant women and girls as part of the naturalization process. In stark contrast to the journalistic stir that Gardasil provoked, the new immigration requirement went unnoticed until the National Coalition for Immigrant Women's Rights (NCIW) called it to attention. I examine the discursive practices and sociohistorical contexts that enabled the problematic …

When It Pays More To Earn Less, Robyn Leslie Jan 2010

When It Pays More To Earn Less, Robyn Leslie

Honors Papers

The poorest individuals in the United States face some of the highest marginal tax rates on additional earned income. These tax rates arise from the benefit reduction rates of cash and in-kind transfer programs, and are often above 100%. Tax rates over 100% create a situation for low-income individuals where earning more leaves them with less after tax income. These implicit tax rates caused by welfare programs have an additive effect. If an individual participates in multiple welfare programs he or she will face a higher tax rate on his or her earned income. This study reveals that the structures …

Letting The Outside In: Connectedness To Nature’S Buffering Effects Against Social Rejection, Case E. Lovell Jan 2010

Letting The Outside In: Connectedness To Nature’S Buffering Effects Against Social Rejection, Case E. Lovell

Honors Papers

Can the need to belong be met in ways other than relationships with other people? This study tested whether connectedness to nature can serve the same function as interpersonal emotional connections in response to interpersonal rejection. Participants (n = 75) either relived an interpersonal rejection experience, or an academic failure. Levels of aggression, negative affect and cognitive deficit, along with their levels of interdependence and connectedness to nature were then measured. Connectedness to nature was found to be activated and elevated in importance by rejected participants who were chronically less emotionally connected to nature. Though connectedness to nature did not …

Narrowing The Gap: New Evidence On Earnings Differentials Based On Sexual Orientation, Mikayla Lytton Jan 2010

Narrowing The Gap: New Evidence On Earnings Differentials Based On Sexual Orientation, Mikayla Lytton

Honors Papers

Using General Social Survey data from 1989 to 2008, I estimate earnings differentials between heterosexual and queer workers. When following the model specified in earlier studies, I find that queer men earn between 11.6% less than their heterosexual counterparts and that queer women earned approximately 11.6% more than their heterosexual counterparts. When respecifying the model to account for the gender composition of individuals’ occupations, I find that queer men’s earnings are not statistically different from straight men’s earnings, and the earnings advantage enjoyed by queer women drops marginally, to 10.5%. This addition significantly improves upon the explanatory power of the …

The Infected Republic: Damaged Masculinity In French Political Journalism, 1934-1938, Emily C. Ringler Jan 2010

The Infected Republic: Damaged Masculinity In French Political Journalism, 1934-1938, Emily C. Ringler

Honors Papers

This thesis examines the ways in which four intellectual, weekly French journals of the 1930s mobilized the mobilized the well-worn political symbol of damaged masculinity in order to articulate their unique fears and anxieties. From the inception of the Third Republic, constructed symbols of ideal and deviant masculinity played a critical role in political and popular discourse. My central argument focuses on how they manifest themselves in the debates of polarized political journalism of the 1930s. Leftist and far right wing publications both emphasized the damaged masculinity of their enemies. However, the left primarily used crowd psychology to describe the …

Qualitative, Quantitative, And Integrative Conservation, Jamison E. Colburn Jan 2010

Qualitative, Quantitative, And Integrative Conservation, Jamison E. Colburn

Faculty Scholarship

In this essay for a symposium on new directions in environmental law, I reflect back on the last 35 years of Endangered Species Act (ESA) practice and offer several modest reforms. My claim is that conservation has been growing increasingly quantitative and risk-based, much like other fields of regulation, but that big problems lie ahead if this trend continues with the ESA as currently structured. In my view, the quantitative demands of listing species, designing recovery objectives, and designating so-called 'critical habitat' are depleting the resources we have put into the ESA because it is an expression of fundamentally qualitative …
