Hak Kekayaan Intelektual Sebagai Masalah Komunikasi, Ignatius Haryanto Oct 2014

Hak Kekayaan Intelektual Sebagai Masalah Komunikasi, Ignatius Haryanto

JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA

Tulisan ini hendak mengajak para sarjana dan peneliti komunikasi memberikan perhatian pada masalah Hak Kekayaan Intelektual (HKI) yang bisa menjadi salah satu aspek penelitian dalam dunia ilmu komunikasi. Paling tidak ada lima perspektif yang akan ditunjukkan di sini untuk melihat problematika HKI sebagai bagian dari kajian komunikasi: yaitu perspektif ekonomi politik komunikasi, perspektif komunikasi internasional, perspektif komunikasi sebagai bagian dari hak budaya, perspektif terkait dengan perkembangan masyarakat informasi, dan perspektif yang melihat perkembangan media baru. Tulisan ini juga menyarankan pendekatan multidisipliner yang lebih banyak dalam melihat berbagai fenomena komunikasi, karena pada awalnya komunikasi juga berutang pada disiplin ilmu lain seperti …


Title Ix And Social Media: Going Beyond The Law, Emily Suran Oct 2014

Title Ix And Social Media: Going Beyond The Law, Emily Suran

Michigan Journal of Gender & Law

The U.S. Department of Education is currently investigating over eighty colleges and universities for civil rights violations under Title IX. From a punitive standpoint, these investigations likely will have minimal impact. Indeed, since the Alexander v. Yale plaintiffs first conceived of Title IX in a sexual harassment context, the nondiscriminatory principles of Title IX have proven disappointingly difficult to enforce. However, in today’s world of grassroots social activism, Title IX has taken on a new, extralegal import. Title IX has become a rallying cry for college activists and survivors. Despite (or perhaps because of) its limitations as a law, it …

Propensity, Social Ties, Friend Behavior, And Heavy Drinking Among College Students, Samantha S. Clinkinbeard, Trisha Rhodes Oct 2014

Propensity, Social Ties, Friend Behavior, And Heavy Drinking Among College Students, Samantha S. Clinkinbeard, Trisha Rhodes

Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

The current research explores self-control, early-onset alcohol propensity, and social ties as they relate to heavy drinking on a college campus. The study draws on a survey of alcohol-related attitudes and behaviors administered to a cluster sample of 149 residential students (M age = 19.9; 51% female) at a medium-sized Midwestern university. A series of ordinary least squares regressions were conducted to explore independent and interactive effects of propensity and social ties on drinking. Propensity and antisocial ties consistently and independently predicted measures of heavy drinking and related consequences. Prosocial ties were less consistent, though they were associated with …

Cyberspace Knowledge Gaps And Boundaries In Sustainability Science: Topics, Regions, Editorial Teams And Journals, Stanley D. Brunn Oct 2014

Cyberspace Knowledge Gaps And Boundaries In Sustainability Science: Topics, Regions, Editorial Teams And Journals, Stanley D. Brunn

Geography Faculty Publications

The scholarly world of sustainability science is one that is international and interdisciplinary, but is one, on close reading of research contributions, editoral teams, journal citations, and geographic coverage, that has much unevenness. The focus of this paper is on the cyberspace boundaries between and within fields and disciplines studying sustainability; these boundaries separate knowledge gaps or uneven patterns in sustainability scholarship. I use the volume of hyperlinks on Google Search Engine and Google Scholar to illustrate the nature and extent of the boundaries in cyberspace that exist and also the subject and geographic gaps in the home countries of …

Perception Of Family And Community Support Among Released Felons In The State Of Texas, June Gerber, Gaylene Armstrong Oct 2014

Perception Of Family And Community Support Among Released Felons In The State Of Texas, June Gerber, Gaylene Armstrong

Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

risons. Of the currently incarcerated prisoners, more than 700,000 individuals are annually released. The probability that they will subsequently return to prison is around 50 percent. For the State of Texas, the figures are 154,656 inmates in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), 42,069 were released during Fiscal Year 2008, and about 50 percent will be re-incarcerated (TDCJ, 2009a, 2009b). We examine one of the factors that reduce the probability that released inmates recidivate: the level of support they expect to receive from family and their community upon their release. Numerous studies have been conducted on the issue of …

OBJECTIVE: Informal caregivers (family and friends) of people with cancer are often unprepared for their caregiving role, leading to increased burden or distress. Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System (CHESS) is a Web-based lung cancer information, communication, and coaching system for caregivers. This randomized trial reports the impact on caregiver burden, disruptiveness, and mood of providing caregivers access to CHESS versus the Internet with a list of recommended lung cancer websites.

METHODS: A total of 285 informal caregivers of patients with advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer were randomly assigned to a comparison group that received Internet or a treatment group that …


Family Unity Revisited: Divorce, Separation, And Death In Immigration Law, Albertina Antognini Oct 2014

Family Unity Revisited: Divorce, Separation, And Death In Immigration Law, Albertina Antognini

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

Families are integral to immigration law and policy, and family-based immigration accounts for the majority of legal entry into the United States. Legislative, judicial, and scholarly discussions that address immigration law's family-based categories rely nearly exclusively on the principle of family unification, which has long been a cornerstone policy of immigration law. Yet the family-based provisions of immigration law do more than unify intact families; understanding families as dynamic entities that experience change reveals an immigration system that acknowledges a flexible family structure in determining status.

The principal aim of this Article is to present a more complete description of …

Ndikimi I Inovacioneve Në Produktivitetin E Ndërmarrjeve, Sherif Gosalci Oct 2014

Ndikimi I Inovacioneve Në Produktivitetin E Ndërmarrjeve, Sherif Gosalci

Theses and Dissertations

Punimi i diplomës “ndikimi i inovacioneve në produktivitetin e ndërmarrjeve” fokusohet kryesisht në rolin dhe ndikimin e inovacioneve në ndërmarrësi, sidomos tani kur globalizmi dhe zhvillimet teknologjike kanë bërë që suksesi të varet nga një konkurrencë e jashtëzakonshme në betejën për mbijetesë ekonomike.

Sipas Schumpeter, procesi krijues i zhvillimit ekonomik mund të ndahet në tri faza të dallueshme: në shpikje; inovacione (komercializimit) dhe imitim. Sipas kësaj teorie, shpikja dhe inovacioni kërkojnë aftësi të posaçme. Bashkimi i tyre rritë mundësitë e komercializimit të suksesshëm.

Zhvillimi i hovshëm teknologjik ka bërë që inovacionet “të lehtësojnë” jetën e qytetarit çdo ditë e më …

During the semester the students planned and carried out a service learning project “Bras for a Cause”. This project involved educating others about human trafficking and collecting bras. The bras are sent overseas …


The Problem Of State Intervention In Post-Abolition Slavery: A Critique Of Consensus, Anthony Talbott, David Watkins Oct 2014

The Problem Of State Intervention In Post-Abolition Slavery: A Critique Of Consensus, Anthony Talbott, David Watkins

Annual Interdisciplinary Conference on Human Trafficking: 6th (2014)

Slavery is now illegal by all states and under international law. Contrary to the hopes of abolitionists, this state of affairs has transformed rather than eradicated slavery as an institution. Furthermore, responses by states to post-abolition forms of slavery have often been less than ideal. This paper begins by comparing two state responses to slavery in the early 20th century: the federal peonage trials in Montgomery, Alabama from 1903-1905, and the federal response to an alleged epidemic of “white slavery” from 1909-1910, culminating in the passage of the White Slave-Traffic Act. Taken together, these responses engender pessimism about the state …


A Mixed Methods Study Of The Beliefs And Attitudes Of Teachers Regarding The Developmental Appropriateness Of Technology In Early Childhood, Brandi-Lyn Mendham Oct 2014

A Mixed Methods Study Of The Beliefs And Attitudes Of Teachers Regarding The Developmental Appropriateness Of Technology In Early Childhood, Brandi-Lyn Mendham

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

In this study, teacher self-efficacy regarding technology use was examined. Data from a sample of teachers were analyzed to determine the degree to which these educators felt comfortable and confident with the infusion of technology in their practice. Additionally, the beliefs and attitudes these educators held toward the developmental appropriateness of technology were analyzed to determine if the level of integration in their classrooms was impacted by these beliefs and attitudes. This study analyzed surveys from 41 teachers (preschool and kindergarten) along with interviews of six participating teachers in the West Shore Educational Service District region in Michigan. Four of …


Religion And Environmental Worldviews, Stephanie Emodi, Madison Hergenrader Oct 2014

Religion And Environmental Worldviews, Stephanie Emodi, Madison Hergenrader

Department of Environmental Studies: Undergraduate Student Theses

This study examined religions role in forming an environmental worldview. It was hypothesized that the more religious one is the more anthropocentric their worldview would be. It is imperative to find what influences values so steps can be made to promote pro environmental behavior. If religion is found to influence one’s behavior and worldview, the social structure of religion could be a possible avenue for encouraging an ecocentric worldview. A survey was conducted and dispersed at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, targeting college-aged students. It was found that although religion does influence behavior, it cannot be concluded that religion influences environmental …
