Norwegian Phrase, Devan Reische

USU Student Folklore Fieldwork

One of my grandmother’s favorite phrase, and I’m not going to get this right at all. One of her favorite phrases was, ‘Stor, Stor, sta litt, sta vett.' And that means ‘big head and little sense.’ And that was one of her favorite phrases. That’s lovely isn’t it. I am sure I got that a few times.

A Measure Of Perceived Chronic Social Adversity: Development And Validation, Jingqiu Zhang, Cody Ding, Yunglung Tang, Chunyu Zhang, Dong Yang

Education Sciences and Professional Programs Faculty Works

The goal of this study was to develop a measure that assesses negative daily social encounters. Specifically, we examined the concept of perceived chronic social adversity and its assessment, the Perceived Chronic Social Adversity Questionnaire (PCSAQ). The PCSAQ focused on the subjective processing of daily social experiences. Psychometric properties were examined within two non-clinical samples (N = 331 and N = 390) and one clinical sample (N = 86). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a three-factor model of the PCSAQ, which corresponds to three types of daily social stressors. The final 28-item PCSAQ was shown to be internally consistent, …

Improving The Social Behavior Of High School Students With Behavioral Challenges Through Self-Management Technology, Kathryn Dooley

Doctoral Dissertations

Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (EBD) struggle with social behaviors (Bradley, Henderson, & Monfore, 2004) such as distractibility and impulsivity (Wagner et al., 2004). Self-management strategies have been used effectively to increase on-task behavior and decrease off-task or inappropriate behavior of students with EBD (Briesch & Chafouleas, 2009a). Additionally, self-management applications for the Apple iPad have led to improvements in the social behavior of students with challenging behavior (Bruhn, Vogelgesang, Fernando., & Lugo, 2016; Bruhn, Vogelgesang, Schabilion, Waller, & Fernando, 2015b; Vogelgesang, Bruhn, Coghill-Behrends, Kern, & Thoughton, 2016). However, a gap in the literature in the use of self-management …

Some Pharmacological Studies On Marbofloxacin And Flunixin Muglumine Combination During Treatment Of Coliform Mastitis In Cattle, M. El-Sayed, Mohamed El-Diasty, M Shams

Mansoura Veterinary Medical Journal

The aim of the present work was to study the effect of Marbofloxacin with Flunixin Muglumine combination during treatment of coliform mastitis in cattle. Twenty coliform mastitic cows were selected from 50 mastitic cows and treated by Marbofloxacin and Flunixin muglumine. The results showed that the red blood cell (RBC) count and hemoglobin concentration were significantly decreased. Similar changes were observed with the mean corpuscular volume and total platelets. Meanwhile, White blood cell (WBC) count was significantly elevated. There are no significant changes recorded in serum albumin and globulin with tested drugs throughout the study. However, there is a significant …

Sera of 801 apparently healthy dromedary camels were collected from Al-Shalateen quarantine and tested by BAPAT, RBPT and there results were confirmed by CFT. The results revealed that the prevalence of camel brucellosis was 12.9%, 11.6% and 11.5% for BAPAT, RBPT and CFT respectively. Also results revealed that seroprevalence was higher in camels younger than 2 years (immature) (13.3%) than mature camels (2-4 years old) (10.6%) and camels at breeding age (older than 4 years) (10.8%). In addition, prevalence on females (19.1%) were higher than males (7.1%). Moreover, Brucella melitensis biovar 3 was isolated from stomach content of aborted camel …

Evaluation Of Non Genetic Factors Affecting Milk Production Traits Of Holstein Cattle, M Fouda,, Kh El- Bayomi, R Darwish, A Eltanahy

Mansoura Veterinary Medical Journal

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of a ge at calving (AC), parity, days in milk (DIM), calving interval (CI), d ays open (DO), d ry period (DP), number of services per conception (NSC), s eason of calving on peak milk yield (PMY), time to attain peak milk yield (TPMY), 305 day mature equivalent (305- DMY) and total milk yield (TMY). Age at calving had significant effect (P≤ 0.05) on all traits studied except TPMY. DIM had a highly significant effect (P< 0.001) on PMY (37.14- 39.18 kg), TPMY (99.29- 194.08days), 305-DMY (8692.86 - 9760.65 kg) and TMY (4552.82- 12416.95 kg) respectively. Furthermore, DO and DP had a highly significant effect on PMY (33.72- 40.29 and 31.81 41.08 kg, respectively), TPMY (152.01- 165.14 and 139-165 day s , respectively), 305-DMY (8613.83- 9606.83 and 7266.76- 9699.76 kg, respectively) and TMY (8057.51- 8865.18 and 6682.97- 8850.30 kg, respectively). NSC had a highly significant effect (P< 0.001) on all traits studied except PMY. On the other hand, parity had no significant influence (P ≥ 0.05) on all traits studied except PMY. CI had no significant effect on all traits studied except 305-DMY. Moreover, season of calving had no significant effect on all traits studied. In conclusion, these factors should be accounted for genetic evaluation process. At farm level, management decisions such as selection and culling, and feeding should made putting these factors into consideration in order to achieve more reliable evaluation.

Sherlock Holmes Meets Rube Goldberg: Fixing The Entry-Into-Force Provisions Of The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, David A. Koplow

Duke Journal of Comparative & International Law

The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) is widely heralded as the most important international legal instrument for arresting the nuclear arms race and impeding further nuclear proliferation. Concluded in 1996, the treaty has been signed by 183 countries and ratified by 166. But it has not yet entered into force, because of its unique requirement that it not become operational for any state until it has been ratified by all forty-four countries designated in its Annex 2. Thirty-six of those Annex 2 states have ratified, but there is little prospect that all of the other eight (including the United …
