Teachers’ Perceptions Of The Implementation Of The Literacy Common Core State Standards For English Language Learners And Students With Disabilities, Audrey Figueroa Murphy, Elizabeth Haller Jan 2015

Teachers’ Perceptions Of The Implementation Of The Literacy Common Core State Standards For English Language Learners And Students With Disabilities, Audrey Figueroa Murphy, Elizabeth Haller

Curriculum & Instruction Faculty Publications

This qualitative study explored the experiences of U.S. teachers of English language learners (ELLs) and students with disabilities (SWDs) as they sought to align the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS) with previously used standards and instructional approaches during the first year of CCSS implementation. Open-ended interviews were conducted with 20 ELL and SWD literacy teachers to investigate (1) the teachers’ experiences as they began the alignment of their curriculum and teaching methods with the CCSS, (2) the teachers’ perceptions of the support that they received and that they still require, and (3) the teachers’ perceptions of the challenges to …


Latent Variable Approach To Elicit Continuous Toxicity Scores And Severity Weights For Multiple Toxicities In Dose-Finding Oncology Trials, Nathaniel S. O'Connell, Elizabeth Garrett-Mayer Jan 2015

Latent Variable Approach To Elicit Continuous Toxicity Scores And Severity Weights For Multiple Toxicities In Dose-Finding Oncology Trials, Nathaniel S. O'Connell, Elizabeth Garrett-Mayer

MUSC Department of Public Health Sciences Working Papers

Most dose-finding clinical trials in oncology aim to find the highest dose yielding an acceptable toxicity profile for patients. The conventional dose-finding framework utilizes a binary toxicity endpoint that treats low to moderate toxicities as irrelevant, ignoring potentially harmful combinations of such toxicities. A handful of novel dose- finding methods have been introduced that combine multiple toxicities across varying grades into a composite toxicity severity score. Toxicity scores provide the advantage of accounting for all toxicity information in a patient profile, but calculation of such scores require prior specification of toxicity severity weights to represent the relative toxicity burden each …


Using Regression Tools To Assess Hazard Identification In The U.S. Army Risk Management Process, Rania Hodhod, Heath L. Mccormick Jan 2015

Using Regression Tools To Assess Hazard Identification In The U.S. Army Risk Management Process, Rania Hodhod, Heath L. Mccormick

Faculty Bibliography

This research considers whether a person‟s demographic and experiential attributes play a significant role in how they perceive the presence or absence of hazards in a given situation. The goal of the research is to show that participants with enlisted military experience, prior to being commissioned as a junior officer, would be more successful at identifying the hazards presented in military scenarios than those who had only been trained on the process via their pre-commissioning and initial entry courses of instruction. The research study involves the use of two surveys with realistic military scenarios including both Foot March and Maintenance …

Transnational Governance Interactions: A Critical Review Of The Legal Literature, Stepan Wood Jan 2015

Transnational Governance Interactions: A Critical Review Of The Legal Literature, Stepan Wood

Transnational Business Governance Interactions Working Papers

Overlaps and interactions among diverse legal rules, actors and orders have long preoccupied legal scholars. This preoccupation has intensified in recent years as transnational efforts to regulate business have proliferated. This proliferation has led to increasingly frequent and intense interactions among transnational regulatory actors and programs. These transnational business governance interactions (TBGI) are the subject of an emerging interdisciplinary research agenda. This paper situates the TBGI research agenda in the broader field of transnational legal theory by presenting a critical review of the ways in which legal scholars have addressed the phenomenon of governance interactions. Legal scholars frequently recognize the …

Civility And Academic Freedom After Salaita, David Moshman, Frank Edler Jan 2015

Civility And Academic Freedom After Salaita, David Moshman, Frank Edler

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

The 2014 unhiring of Professor Steven Salaita by the University of Illinois raises at least three distinct issues: (1) the right of faculty to speak out in public on matters of public concern; (2) the academic freedom of academic departments to make academic decisions; and (3) the role of civility in education. After differentiating the third issue from the first two, we extend the discussion to other recent cases involving civility in education. The cases range from overt coercion to implicit threats and subtle pressures. We explain that uncivil speech is generally protected by the First Amendment but that this …

The Brutal Murder Of George J. Bushman, Conrad B. Richter, Dale J. Molina Jan 2015

The Brutal Murder Of George J. Bushman, Conrad B. Richter, Dale J. Molina

Adams County History

In the fall of 1918 there occurred in Adams County a singularly brutal murder that brought the County and the town of Gettysburg to a shocked standstill. The tentacles of this event would reach into four Pennsylvania counties: Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, and Philadelphia, and eventually the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The investigation of the crime and the trial of the perpetrators involved so many public officials and families, as well as the extended judicial system and geographical locations within and without the County, that we have included a Cast of Characters and Locations to assist the reader in following this convoluted …

Organizations Serving Latino Communities Take Opposing Positions On Senate Bill 744, Gilbert G. Gonzalez Jan 2015

Organizations Serving Latino Communities Take Opposing Positions On Senate Bill 744, Gilbert G. Gonzalez

Diálogo

Discussion of the guest worker program in S.B. 744 passed by the U.S. Senate in 2013-14, followed by critical examination of principle positions taken by organizations and lobbyists, and key arguments used to justify their perspectives: legal protected status vs. corporations’ need for cheap, exploitable labor. Historical context provides crucial elements for discussion.


Branding Guilt: American Apparel Inc. And Latina Labor In Los Angeles, Hannah Noel Jan 2015

Branding Guilt: American Apparel Inc. And Latina Labor In Los Angeles, Hannah Noel

Diálogo

A study of the marketing strategies of the clothing enterprise, American Apparel, how it targets affluent, educated youth through socially conscious tactics, including a focus on pro-immigrant rights and Los Angeles-made, “sweatshop-free” advertising. The essay analyzes the ideologies and stances behind marketing materials that often contain images of Latinas/os as laborers, and white (European origin) population as consumers, and examines how U.S.-based ethical capitalism operates as a neoliberal form of social regulation to champion personal responsibility and individual freedom, in often hidden and inferentially racist and classist ways.


Cultural Citizenship And Coming Out On A College Campus: Undocumented Students’ Responses To Everyday Immigration Enforcement, Julia Wignall Jan 2015

Cultural Citizenship And Coming Out On A College Campus: Undocumented Students’ Responses To Everyday Immigration Enforcement, Julia Wignall

Diálogo

A study of the experiences of young undocumented immigrants as they transition into adulthood in Southern California, their obstacles encountered in the imposed condition of “undocumented,” even within the university experience, and innovative strategies adopted to deal with legal impediments. Using an ethnographic approach and interviews with college students, techniques such as “coming out of the shadows” and “everyday enforcement” are evaluated, as well as theories on practices of cultural citizenship, to demonstrate that undocumented students are claiming space and rights in their daily lives.

Opening The Barnyard Door: Transparency And The Resurgence Of Ag-Gag & Veggie Libel Laws, Nicole Negowetti Jan 2015

Opening The Barnyard Door: Transparency And The Resurgence Of Ag-Gag & Veggie Libel Laws, Nicole Negowetti

Law Faculty Publications

Over the past several decades, as the agricultural system became increasingly industrialized and the steps from farm to plate multiplied, consumers became farther removed from the sources of their food. Until recently, most consumers in America were content to eat their processed, cheap, and filling foods without giving a second thought to how these foods were produced. The tides are changing. Increasingly, consumers are calling for more transparency in the food system. Repulsed by images of animal cruelty and shocked by unsavory food production practices, consumers want the food industry’s veil lifted and are demanding changes in food production. The …


You Can “Like” It On Paper Too: Reaching Digital Students Through Analog Displays, Rachael Muszkiewicz Jan 2015

You Can “Like” It On Paper Too: Reaching Digital Students Through Analog Displays, Rachael Muszkiewicz

Library Faculty Publications

In response to literature on libraries as space and the Millennial generation, this chapter speaks to the importance of the academic library as both social and communal space and how to communicate with today’s college students. These case studies illustrate that students can be reached through analog displays, building an unconscious community between students as a group and students with the library. Community built within the academic library is discussed in light of these analog displays, the current library literature and via sociological positions. It is concluded that although it is thought that students want digital or online communication only, …

Making It In Maine: Stories Of Jewish Life In Small-Town America, David M. Freidenreich Jan 2015

Making It In Maine: Stories Of Jewish Life In Small-Town America, David M. Freidenreich

Faculty Scholarship

There are countless stories of Jewish life in Maine, stretching back 200 years. These are stories worth telling not only for their enjoyment value but also because we can learn a great deal from them. They reflect the challenges that confronted members of an immigrant community as they sought to become true Mainers, as well as the challenges this ethnic group now faces as a result of its successful integration. The experiences of Jews in Maine, moreover, encapsulate in many ways the experiences of small-town Jews throughout New England and the United States. Their stories offer glimpses into the changing …

The Van Der Waals Equation As A Cubic, Carl W. David Jan 2015

The Van Der Waals Equation As A Cubic, Carl W. David

Chemistry Education Materials

The van der Waals (from his thesis of 1873) equation is a cubic in the molar volume. Since this is the first equation of state studied in chemistry more complicated than the ideal gas equation, it is noteworthy that the solution of this cubic is rarely if ever addressed. When (lowering the temperature) the two imaginary roots coalesce with the real root of the van der Waals equation we have the critical point. At Kelvin temperatures below Tc. the equation has three real roots; we explore obtaining those roots to aid in the Maxwell construction required to obtain the vapor …


State (Un)Separated Powers And Commandeering, Aaron P. Brecher Jan 2015

State (Un)Separated Powers And Commandeering, Aaron P. Brecher

Res Gestae

This Essay argues that the Court’s line between state judges and other state officials is not as clean as the case law suggests. Specifically, early state constitutions, as well as the British constitutional order prevailing before the U.S. Constitution was enacted—which did not separate powers as rigidly as the U.S. Constitution—combine to undermine the distinction. Taking this line of analysis seriously is not to deny that commandeering state executive or legislative officials raises federalism concerns. But paying more careful attention to early state conceptions of the separation of powers furthers federalist goals in another way: it engenders respect for the …
