Despite the effort, the need for change has not hit the all of thepopulation with a "Jolt." One of the best places to develop a sustainability mindset is at the University level. Universities must lead the example as the focal points of their respective communities and as the training grounds for the leaders of tommorrow. Currently, the University of South Florida falls short in the endeavor. The University lacks …


The Effectiveness And Efficiency Of Female Chief Executive Officers, Robin Crauthers Apr 2009

The Effectiveness And Efficiency Of Female Chief Executive Officers, Robin Crauthers

Grace Allen Scholars Theses

Female Chief Executive Officers lead 2.4% of the top 1000 companies in the United States (Fortune). Why does such a large gender gap exist? There are many possible reasons. However, since a public company’s goal is to increase its value and maximize its profits, the only acceptable excuse for the continued gender gap is if women CEOs are not as efficient and effective as male CEOs.

Financial ratios provide a comparison measurement of efficiency and effectiveness when compared to industry standard ratios commonly computed. This study uses current and quick ratios, inventory turnover ratios, debt to equity ratio, return on …

Memoir Of Sister Cecilia O'Conway: Sisters Of Charity Of St. Joseph's, Betty Ann Mcneil D.C. Apr 2009

Memoir Of Sister Cecilia O'Conway: Sisters Of Charity Of St. Joseph's, Betty Ann Mcneil D.C.

Vincentian Studies

Cecilia O’Conway was the first candidate for the Sisters of Charity. Her chronology of the community’s history is one of the earliest such sources we have. It covers the time period from 1805 to 1815, with entries missing for 1811, 1813, and 1814. Background on O’Conway is given, some of which comes from Elizabeth Seton’s letters; O’Conway’s extensive role in the community is also described. Her memoir is supplemented with clarifications and other information from written accounts by Rose White and Margaret George, two other early sisters. O’Conway ultimately left the community for reasons that are recounted, but she retained …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

OBJECTIVE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States but is often undertreated. COPD often overlaps with other conditions such as hypertension and osteoporosis, which are less morbid but may be treated more aggressively. We evaluated the prevalence of these comorbid conditions and compared testing, patient knowledge, and management in a national sample of patients with COPD.

METHODS: A survey was administered by telephone in 2006 to 1003 patients with COPD to evaluate the prevalence of comorbid conditions, diagnostic testing, knowledge, and management using standardized instruments. The completion rate was 87%.

RESULTS: …

Gender Equality In Reconciling Work And Childcare In South Korea, Kook Hee Lee Mar 2009

Gender Equality In Reconciling Work And Childcare In South Korea, Kook Hee Lee

Cornell Law School Inter-University Graduate Student Conference Papers

This paper presents an ideal legislative model for South Korea to realize gender equality in reconciling work and childcare. The comparative study on the U.S. and German system is the basis for the legislative model. This paper selects the U.S. and German systems as a comparison group because they are representing the equal treatment approach and special treatment approach in the feminist legal theory. The current system in South Korea fails to realize gender equality because it provides maternity leave exclusive to women to limit women’s right to work and lacks financial support for parental leave. Maternity leave limits women’s …
