Changes In Gaming And Gaming Participants In The United States, Roy A. Cook, Laura J. Yale Dec 2012

Changes In Gaming And Gaming Participants In The United States, Roy A. Cook, Laura J. Yale

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Public interest and acceptance of casino gaming as a recreational activity has resulted in a proliferation of gaming locations. The spread of gaming locations and the acceptance of gaming as a legitimate leisure activity may be explained from a marketing perspective through diffusion theory. Gaming could see continued revenue growth and participation or, like lotteries, it could face saturation and even decline. To avoid the potential problems associated with maturation, gaming operators may need to review the experiences of state lotteries which have faced and dealt with the problems of maturation and saturation.

The Values-Based Revolution, David B. Brauer Dec 2012

The Values-Based Revolution, David B. Brauer

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

The key to creating a successful business is not guaranteed by disingenuously "going green" especially if that term lacks certain definition. Rather, in addition to adopting principles of environmental stewardship, the values-based leader will discover that in freely espousing and implementing principles in the workplace, consumers with like values will often pay a product and/or service premium to patronize a business demonstrating like mindset. This is the true way of achieving business success.


Power, Responsibility & Wisdom: Exploring The Issues At The Core Of Ethical Decision-Making And Leadership, Bruce Lloyd Dec 2012

Power, Responsibility & Wisdom: Exploring The Issues At The Core Of Ethical Decision-Making And Leadership, Bruce Lloyd

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Decision-making ostensibly requires the exercise of Power. But that use of Power must be counterbalanced with Responsibility in order to make good decisions. Infusing Wisdom into the decision-making process necessarily incorporates an ethical component and involves both the identification and evaluation of relationships. Wise decision-making, therefore, requires the application of Wisdom which transcends simple, short-lived factual proficiency. It is this careful weighing of Wisdom, Power, Knowledge, and Responsibility which must guide our business leaders and be taught to our business students.

Accounting Ethics Education: An Authentic Value-Based Approach, Otto H. Chang

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

In order to infuse the teaching of ethics in the field of Accounting as well as within a business school curriculum per se, the traditional neo-classical method must move away from the microcosm of "self" in favor of consideration for "others."


Authentic Identity: The Essence Of How Successful “Ecopreneurs” Communicate, Chantal B. Schauch Dec 2012

Authentic Identity: The Essence Of How Successful “Ecopreneurs” Communicate, Chantal B. Schauch

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Entrepreneurs can no longer ignore the environmental consequences of their industrial practices. Those that do will most certainly fail. Ms. Schauch‘s research concentrates on the five distinguishing traits of a successful ―ecopreneur‖: (1) grounded by values and living by values; (2) belief in cause and passion for cause (3) resolute in mission and consistent across mission; (4) like-minded relationships and transparent relationships; and (5) learning for life and returning for life.

Homes Across The Border: Russian Summer Houses In The Karelian Isthmus And The Finnish State, 1917–1927, Kitty Lam Dec 2012

Homes Across The Border: Russian Summer Houses In The Karelian Isthmus And The Finnish State, 1917–1927, Kitty Lam

Faculty Publications & Research

At the end of the 19th century, numerous St. Petersburg residents established their summer homes in the Karelian Isthmus, a picturesque region in the Grand Duchy of Finland, an autonomous province of the Russian Empire. The ease of travel between the Russian imperial capital and the Finnish seaside towns contributed to this practice. After 1917, a new border regime delineated the nascent Finnish state from the equally new Russian/ Soviet state. This change displaced the majority of Russian proprietors, as well as those imperial subjects who rented vacation properties from local Finns. This article addresses how state-building practices distinguishing between …

Expansin Synergy With Cellulases: Development Of A Transgenic Maize System For Expansin Production And Evaluation Of Synergistic Activity On Lignocellulosic Substrates, Sangwoong Yoon Dec 2012

Expansin Synergy With Cellulases: Development Of A Transgenic Maize System For Expansin Production And Evaluation Of Synergistic Activity On Lignocellulosic Substrates, Sangwoong Yoon

Student Theses and Dissertations

One of the greatest barriers to produce biofuels from lignocellulosic material is efficient cellulose depolymerization by cellulase activity. Expansin is a protein that is active in cell wall expansion in growing regions of most plants. Because of this unique activity, expansin synergistic activity with cellulase is believed to lower the depolymerization barrier. Over-expression of expansin in the maize production system is designed to produce sufficient protein 1) to study its physiological effects, and 2) to assess its ability to serve as an industrial enzyme for applications, particularly in biomass conversion. Transgenic lines of maize that express the cucumber expansin gene …


Returns To Schooling: A Quantile Regression, Arman Oganisian Dec 2012

Returns To Schooling: A Quantile Regression, Arman Oganisian

Economics Student Scholarship

This paper contributes to the large body of economic literature that attempts to estimate the returns to schooling. It uses quantile regression to estimate the effect of an additional year of education on monthly wage for earners in different quantiles. Using data from the young men’s cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey, the paper attempts to control for ability, family background, geography, and race, and finds that the returns to schooling is approximately 3.49% for men. Furthermore, the paper finds that while the effect of education on earnings is not significantly different from quantile to quantile, the significance of education …

The authors in this consensual qualitative research study explored the dissertation experiences of 42 graduates (27 counselor educators, 13 counselors, 2 administrators) from 4 midwestern states. Identified domains included impact of environment, competing influences, personality traits, chair influence, committee function, and barriers to completion. An emergent theory reflected the interconnectedness of the dissertation process across internal, relational, and professional factors. Implications related to motivation, personal traits, and identification of barriers in the dissertation process are provided.
