Honors Theses

The purpose of this study was to explore the traditional BSN student’s experience in choosing an initial area of practice and influences on this choice. Understanding of this experience is important for educators and healthcare agencies so they may utilize this information to improve the initial area of practice experience. This qualitative phenomenological study was based on van Manen’s hermeneutic phenomenological approach. Data were collected through participant interviews that were analyzed for themes related to participant experiences of choosing an initial area of practice. The data were simultaneously transcribed and analyzed to extract themes for each participant. Analysis identified three …

A Time To Tax: The Accounting Profession Responds To Wartime Changes In The U.S. Tax Code, Mark E. Jobe, Dale L. Flesher

Journal of Business, Industry, and Economics

During the midst of the most desperate struggle America has ever known, the nation’s taxsystem underwent drastic change. To facilitate this change, the United States needed men ofintegrity, ability, and leadership – and accountants rallied to the cause. Through no act of compulsion, other than patriotic zeal, the accounting profession responded by lobbying for tax simplification, and time extensions, while laboring tirelessly to educate preparers, the taxpaying public, and congressional authorities.


Information, Prediction Markets, And Ncaa Basketball Attendance: The Big East Conference, Rodney J. Paul, Andrew P. Weinbach, Jonathan C. Plaut Jan 2014

Information, Prediction Markets, And Ncaa Basketball Attendance: The Big East Conference, Rodney J. Paul, Andrew P. Weinbach, Jonathan C. Plaut

Journal of Business, Industry, and Economics

In recent years, the introduction and investigation of prediction markets and their uses has become very popular in the economics and finance literature. One place where the use of sports prediction markets, more commonly thought of as betting markets, is quite helpful is in exploring the validity of the uncertainty of outcome hypothesis. The uncertainty of outcome hypothesis states that fans prefer to watch games where the expected outcome of the game is close. We test this hypothesis for Big East college basketball, using betting market prices, and find support for this hypothesis in this market. In addition, expected scoring, …


Economic Upheaval And Its Impact On U.S. Banks - Considerations For Their Future Success Or Failure?, Rita C. Jones Phd, James L. Hauck, Vicky Langston Phd Jan 2014

Economic Upheaval And Its Impact On U.S. Banks - Considerations For Their Future Success Or Failure?, Rita C. Jones Phd, James L. Hauck, Vicky Langston Phd

Journal of Business, Industry, and Economics

The purpose of this paper is to discuss whether or not U.S. Banks will have to consolidate to survive and succeed in the 21st Century. In the past decade, the financial services industry has experienced one of three periods of great turmoil since the Great Depression. This upheaval has led to dramatic shifts in the competitive and regulatory environments in which financial service providers operate. The result of these changes is that many more small and mid-sized banks will find it necessary, or even attractive, to merge with competitors, either voluntarily or involuntarily, during the course of the next decade.

The Matrix Method Of Linear Dichroism, Kenna Collums Jan 2014

The Matrix Method Of Linear Dichroism, Kenna Collums

Honors Theses

This thesis discusses linear dichroism, and in particular the matrix method behind the spectroscopic technique. Linear dichroism uses the difference in the absorption of light that is parallel to the orientation axis and the absorption of light that is perpendicular to the orientation axis. From this process, the structure and function of molecules can be studied. The matrix method diagonalizes a Hamiltonian matrix with a unitary matrix. This Hamiltonian matrix is constructed from the transition energies, which are the diagonal elements, and coupling energies, which are off-diagonal elements.


Analysis Of Body Type Preferences Among Young Adults, Khyati Maheshkumar Ganatra Jan 2014

Analysis Of Body Type Preferences Among Young Adults, Khyati Maheshkumar Ganatra

Honors Theses

Based on a study conducted by Devendra Singh in 1993, it is believed that males prefer females with a lower waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7, as compared to higher ones. This may be due to the evolutionary advantage of these females being more fertile and able to reproduce. However, social media has been suggesting that thinner females are more attractive. One way society measures thinness is by a characteristic known as the 'thigh-gap' that many females strive to obtain. This study was conducted to discover whether or not a difference exists between males and females regarding their preference of the thigh-gap …


Bacteria Con Leche: Bacterial Populations And Antibiotic Resistance Within Conventional, Usda Organic, And Local Milk, Kristen M. Wilson Jan 2014

Bacteria Con Leche: Bacterial Populations And Antibiotic Resistance Within Conventional, Usda Organic, And Local Milk, Kristen M. Wilson

Honors Theses

Concerns over food production and processing, along with increasing outbreaks of foodborne illnesses and antibiotic resistant infections have led many consumers to seek alternative food sources in the organic and local food markets. This study compared conventional, USDA certified organic, and local farmer's market milk types to determine whether there is any noticeable benefit to purchasing organic or locally harvested milk in terms of their bacterial populations and level of antibiotic resistance. Samples from various milk types were plated on Tryptic Soy Agar and Milk Agar plates to enumerate bacteria, and the cultivated bacteria tested for resistance to the antibiotics …

Do Sports And Public Relations Make A Winning Combination For Schools? - How Public Relations Is Utilized In The Ole Miss Athletics Department And That Of Four Other Universities, Lauren Mcmillin

Honors Theses

This thesis covers several areas of investigation. A majority of the information came from staff members in the Ole Miss Athletics Department and the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation, including information from my own experiences working with both organizations. In researching other schools, I reached out to colleagues associated with the four other universities that I examined, interviewing them on different subject matters. Additional information was found in textbooks and online articles. From my research, I was able to discover the various methods that schools use to promote athletics programs. By employing the areas of public and media relations, marketing, social …
