The Ebbs And Flows Of Gulf War Protests, Eric Swank
The Ebbs And Flows Of Gulf War Protests, Eric Swank
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Operation Desert Storm was not a "patriotic triumph" for many U.S. citizens. Numerous Americans silently disapproved of the war, while others defiantly created a movement of Gulf War dissenters. This reenactment of the antiwar movement will be the focus of this paper. More specifically, the paper will trace the inception, growth and decline of this oppositional movement. Methodologically, this paper studies the movement's ebbs and flows through a content analysis of newspapers and an ethnographic case study. In the end, this study reveals that the slow and steady growth of the movement during the last months of 1990 was surpassed …
They Met At Lockridge's Mill, Dieter C. Ullrich
They Met At Lockridge's Mill, Dieter C. Ullrich
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
In the twilight hours of May 5th 1862, a lone detachment of Union cavalry calmly dismounted for a brief rest near a small river crossing called Lockridge's Mills in Weakley County, Tennessee. Pickets were organized and sent south from the crossing on the Dresden-Mayfield road as a precaution. As the pickets departed, the rest of the troops unfastened saddles, watered horses and began to prepare supper. Three picket lines were strategically placed along the road, the furthest from the encampment being about a half mile. Not long after the final picket was organized Confederate skirmishers attacked. A line of defense …
Consumer-Directed Advertising Of Contraceptive Drugs: The Fda, Depo-Provera, And Product Liability, William Green
Consumer-Directed Advertising Of Contraceptive Drugs: The Fda, Depo-Provera, And Product Liability, William Green
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Pharmaceutical manufacturers have advertised prescription drug products to the public for over a decade. These consumer-directed advertisements often are promoted, like those for other consumer products, with appeals to vanity, insecurity, and pain. Prescription drug advertisements possess certain unique features, most notably a statement that consumers must visit their doctor before purchasing the product. These advertisements also encourage consumers to obtain more detailed information from the manufacturer, often by using 800 numbers to phone in requests for free video tapes, brochures, and information packets. Depo-Provera is one of these prescription drugs.
Negotiating The Future: Nlra Paradigm And The Prospects For Labor Law Reform, William C. Green
Negotiating The Future: Nlra Paradigm And The Prospects For Labor Law Reform, William C. Green
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Japan's rising economic prowess in the 1980's and its penetration of the North American automobile marketplace produced a major economic restructuring. Seven Asian automobile assembly plants, along with four Japanese-Big Three joint ventures, and GM's Saturn were built across the industrial heartland of the United States and Canada.' This common experience, accompanied by a transformation in industrial production methods and the reorganization of work defined in terms of Japanese lean production techniques and cooperative labor relations, created a crisis for the Fordist regime of industrial production, its system of labor-management relations, and organized labor. Lean production has also created a …
Profile Of Women Incarcerated For Murder In Oklahoma, Constance L. Hardesty, Kathleen O'Shea, Beverly Fletcher
Profile Of Women Incarcerated For Murder In Oklahoma, Constance L. Hardesty, Kathleen O'Shea, Beverly Fletcher
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
The present study addresses the need to increase our understanding of women incarcerated for violent crimes, especially murder, by developing a profile of women incarcerated for murder in Oklahoma. Compared to the United States as a whole, Oklahoma has one of the highest per capita rates of female incarceration. While women represent only five percent of the total prison population in the United States, they comprise twelve percent of Oklahoma's prison population (Oklahoma Department of Corrections, 1989). Survey data of female inmates in Oklahoma are utilized to study the demographic 45 - characteristics as well as the current and past …
El Enigma De "La Mujer De Piedra" De Bécquer, Eugene B. Hastings
El Enigma De "La Mujer De Piedra" De Bécquer, Eugene B. Hastings
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Si tuviera que decir cuál ha sido la obra de Bécquer que más se ha resistido a mi análisis y, sin embargo, ha sido y sigue siendo una de las grandes creaciones del genio sevillano, no vacilaría en afirmar que es "La mujer de piedra", el famoso fragmento de El libro de los gorriones. Sin embargo, la aparente discrepancia entre lo que tantas veces he sentido al leer este relato y lo que en ciertos aspectos puede colegirse de un escrutinio "científico" del texto ha sido la causa de mi perplejidad. Creo ver en la obra un mensaje oculto difícil …
The Uaw And Caw Confront Lean Production At Saturn, Cami, And The Japanese Automobile Transplants, William C. Green, Ernest J. Yanarella
The Uaw And Caw Confront Lean Production At Saturn, Cami, And The Japanese Automobile Transplants, William C. Green, Ernest J. Yanarella
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
The North American auto marketplace witnessed a major restructuring during the 1980s. This article examines UAW's and CAW's quite different and distinctive responses to these developments at two union plants: the UAW's and GM's joint operation of the Saturn plant and the CAW's adversarial shop floor labor-management relations at CAMI, a GM-Suzuki joint venture. Then the article focuses on the common challenges both unions have to overcome in organizing Hyundai, the South Korean automaker, and the six Japanese plants. The article closes by exploring the risks and opportunities both unions face from the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Sequence Stratigraphy And Evolution Of A Progradational, Foreland Carbonate Ramp, Lower Mississippian Mission Canyon Formation And Stratigraphic Equivalents, Montana And Idaho, Steven K. Reid, S. L. Dorobek
Sequence Stratigraphy And Evolution Of A Progradational, Foreland Carbonate Ramp, Lower Mississippian Mission Canyon Formation And Stratigraphic Equivalents, Montana And Idaho, Steven K. Reid, S. L. Dorobek
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
The Lower Mississippian Mission Canyon Formation and stratigraphic equivalents in Montana and Idaho were deposited on a progradational carbonate ramp that developed on the foreland side of the Antler foredeep. Shallow subtidal and peritidal lithofacies were deposited in ramp-interior settings across most of Montana. The ramp to basin transition in westernmost Montana was a relatively narrow belt of stacked skeletal grainstone banks. Farther west, skeletal grainstone banks prograded over and interfingered with outer ramp/slope cherty limestones. In east-central Idaho, coeval lower slope and basinal strata consisted of silty to argillaceous, spicular limestones, spiculites, and spicular calcareous siltstones/fine-grained sandstones.

Cooperation In Resource Management Planning: A Model Process For Promoting Partnerships Between Resource Managers And Private Service Providers, Curt Schatz, Leo H. Mcavoy, David W. Lime
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
This study presents a modified transactive planning process intended to improve communication and cooperation between public sector resource managers and private sector businesses that serve visitors to an outdoor recreation resource. The elements of the transactive planning process are illustrated and applied in a case study approach with the U.S. Forest Service and commercial outfitters adjacent to a forest recreation area. Outcomes of the planning process indicate that public managers and private businesses share many of the same management goals and concerns. They also agree they can and should address these concerns cooperatively. Results of the study indicate that this …

The Silurian Of Central Kentucky, U.S.A.: Stratigraphy, Palaeoenvironments And Palaeoecology, Charles E. Mason, F. R. Ettensohn, C. E. Andrews
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Silurian rocks in Kentucky are exposed on the eastern and western flanks of the Cincinnati Arch, a large-wavelength cratonic structure separating the Appalachian foreland basin from the intracratonic Illinois Basin. The Cincinnati Arch area experienced uplift during latest Ordovician-early Silurian time, so that the exposed Silurian section is relatively thin due to onlap and post-Silurian erosional truncation on the arch. On both flanks of the arch, dolomitic carbonates predominate, but the section on the eastern side reflects a more shale-rich ramp that faced eastern Appalachian source areas. In the Silurian section on the western side of the arch, which apparently …

The Odyssey Of Depo-Provera: Contraceptives, Carcinogenic Drugs, And Risk Management Analyses, William Green
The Odyssey Of Depo-Provera: Contraceptives, Carcinogenic Drugs, And Risk Management Analyses, William Green
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Depo-Provera has been a scientific and political battleground for over twenty years. At stake have been the reproductive health of women, the marketing of a long-acting contraceptive by a multinational corporation, and international family planning and population control. Seventy nations have approved its use as a female contraceptive, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not, because the drug is a suspected carcinogen. FDA's decision means marketing of Depo-Provera as a contraceptive is forbidden in the United States and in U.S. foreign aid programs. FDA's decision also means the drug is less likely to be used in Third …
Arc From Implementation To Payoff Decade And Beyond, Stuart Seely Sprague
Arc From Implementation To Payoff Decade And Beyond, Stuart Seely Sprague
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Between 1965 and 1974, the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) spent in excess of $2 billion. Since 1974, that figure has climbed to more than $4 billion, with the bulk of these funds spent for road building and vocational schools. Despite this outpouring of funds, many in the region have never heard of the ARC. Part of the problem is ARC's lack of credibility, caused by less than spectacular results.
Anxiety And Safety: Two Studies Ol The Kentucky Coal Miner, George E. Dickinson, Stuart Seely Sprague
Anxiety And Safety: Two Studies Ol The Kentucky Coal Miner, George E. Dickinson, Stuart Seely Sprague
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Two reports offer insight into the personality and working conditions of the Kentucky Coal miner. Dr. George E. Dickinson's survey measures death anxiety among miners; Dr. Stuart S. Sprague's correlated report tracks the often volatile effort to legislate and enforce safety regulations. Both reports arrive at one perhaps startling conclusion: many miners agree - and are somewhat supported by statistics - that they themselves are most frequently to blame for accidents.

Enroute to eastern Kentucky, nonmarine sandstone, mudstone, coal, and limestone of the Upper Carboniferous to Permian (?) Dunkard Group, and Upper Carboniferous Monongahela and Conemaugh Formations will be examined in southern Ohio and western West Virginia. In eastern Kentucky, examination of the rocks will proceed up through the sequence starting with the Lower Carboniferous Berea Sandstone, a shallow marine deposit with abundant sedimentary structures; followed by the Borden Formation, which represents …
What Have We Learned From Process Models Of Conversion? An Examination Of Ten Case Studies, David Rudy
What Have We Learned From Process Models Of Conversion? An Examination Of Ten Case Studies, David Rudy
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Many attempts to understand the conversion process have been guided by Lofland and Stark's (1965) "process-mode." We examine ten case studies of the conversion process in diverse groups in order to specify the conditions under which the Lofland-Stark model applies. Several components of the model are rejected for conceptual reasons. Other components are to be found in some types of groups but not in others. Only "formation of affective bonds with group members" and "intensive interaction with group members" seem to be indispensable prerequisites for conversion. Thus, any group which is to successfully convert people must be structured so as …

This report's methodology involves comparing the average local population per store for a particular business with state averages for that business to determine whether sufficient population exists to support a new business. By using this methodology, 382 prospective business opportunities have been identified out of a possible 1,416. The potential opportunities are divided into the retail , service, and construction sectors and are targeted for 12 market areas within Appalachian Kentucky.
Conversion To The World View Of Alcoholics Anonymous: A Refinement Of Conversion Theory, David R. Rudy, Arthur L. Greil
Conversion To The World View Of Alcoholics Anonymous: A Refinement Of Conversion Theory, David R. Rudy, Arthur L. Greil
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Most empirical studies of the conversion process have focused on individuals who have come to espouse the world view of a deviant religious denomination or sect. Using observational data our research analyzes the conversion process by which individuals come to identify with the ideology propounded by Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.). A.A. provides prospective "alcoholics" with both a solution to drinking problems and an overarching world view with which to reinterpret their past experience. The A.A. conversion process can be divided into six phases: hitting bottom, first stepping, making a commitment, accepting your problem, telling your story, and doing Twelfth Step work. …

This distributional study of the aquatic macroinvertebrates of the Big Sandy River Basin was based on a review of published literatu re and utilized other professional sources. Data generated include 493 taxa of aquatic macroinvertebrates from the Big Sandy River and its tributaries and from adjacent drainages within the counties of the Big Sandy River Basin. Taxa represented in the study, including the 360 taxa occurring within the Levisa Fork Drainage, are generally distributed fauna in the eastern United States and none of t hese representatives are considered as rare, th reatened or endangered.
Current And Projected Socioeconomic Conditions Of The Levisa Fork Of The Big Sandy River Basin Of Kentucky And Virginia, Gary Cox
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
This study Is an analytical assessment of the social and economic situation in the 11 county area. The major focus of the study is directed toward the impact of increased mining activity on population, settlement patterns, land use, and the economic structure of the coal-rich basin. While this assessment is primarily concerned with the present socio-economic situation along the Levisa Fork and its tributaries, considerable effort has been given to projecting the future impact of continuing growth in coal production. It is assumed that the nation's need for energy will continue to stimulate the coal-based economy of the region for …

Property Tax Ellort In Eastern Kentucky Counties: Implications Lor Financing Public Services, Douglas Dotterweich
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
The eastern portion of Kentucky has long had insufficient tax revenues available to provide quality public services for local residents. Frequently, the response by legislators and others within the region has been to request additional resources from the state and federal levels of government for service provision. Particularly in present times of limited resources, the higher units of government would do well to ask the question: "Is this region truly poor, or are its residents simply unwilling to tax themselves at the same level as the rest of the state?" The purpose of this report is to provide a method …
The Effect Of Para-Chlorophenylalanine And Scopolamine On Passive Avoidance In Chicks, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman
The Effect Of Para-Chlorophenylalanine And Scopolamine On Passive Avoidance In Chicks, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Four-day-old Vantress x Arbor Acre chicks were tested for key-peck passive avoidance (PA) learning following intraperitoneal injections of parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA) and/or scopolamine. In Experiment 1, chicks were pre-treated with either three or five injections of PCPA (150 mg/kg) or saline across the first three posthatch days and then tested for PA learning on the fourth posthatch day. In Experiment 2, chicks were first pre-treated with three injections of PCPA (150 mg/kg) or saline, and then injected with either scopolamine (0.5 mg/kg) or saline 20 rain prior to PA testing on the fourth posthatch day. Major findings were: (a) Chicks pre-treated …
Atropine Disrupts Passive Avoidance Learning In Young Chicks T, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman
Atropine Disrupts Passive Avoidance Learning In Young Chicks T, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Four-day-old Vantress × Arbor Acre chicks were first trained to key-peck for heat reinforcement and then tested for passive avoidance learning following an intraperitoneal injection of atropine sulfate or saline. Chicks injected with 1.0 mg/kg of atropine responded more quickly than saline-injected chicks when their key-peck responses were punished with aversive wing-shocks. These findings, therefore, are consistent with the view that cholinergic mechanisms are involved in inhibitory behavior in the young domestic chick.

Death Education In U.S. Medical Schools: 1975-1980, George E. Dickinson
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Surveys from 1975 and 1980 of U.S. medical schools' offerings in death education are compared. A 95 and 96 percent return rate, respectively, for each survey revealed a slight increase in offerings in 1980. A team approach is used, with physicians and theologians most often being cited as facilitators of a lecture/ discussion format.
The Impact Of Federal Regulations On The Small Coal Mine In Appalachia, Bernard Davis
The Impact Of Federal Regulations On The Small Coal Mine In Appalachia, Bernard Davis
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
The study addresses two specific issues influencing the production of coal from small mines: 1) the direct costs and other effects of government regulation and deregulation on coal operators in general, and 2) the effects of governmental policies on the productivity by size (tonnage) class of small coal mines. Appalachian Kentucky was used as the study area because of the wide range of mine firm sizes.

Faculty Research at Morehead State University
A literature and regional repository review of the Big Sandy Basin ichthyofouno yielded 111 confirmed species, including 93 from Leviso Fork and its tributaries. Twenty-nine additional species were added to the lost published comprehensive review (Jenkins et al., 1972); one species was not re-confirmed. The 111 forms (108 confirmed or probable) included 14 known or suspected introductions and 20 species (including 12 recently collected from Leviso Fork) with special Kentucky Nature Preserves Commission status codes. The two most threatened Kentucky species were Percino macrocephala and Ammocrypto pellucido.
An Analysis Of Population Changes In Eastern Kentucky 1970-2000, Gary C. Cox
An Analysis Of Population Changes In Eastern Kentucky 1970-2000, Gary C. Cox
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Accurate population projections are essential for anyone engaged in long-range planning. Predicting future population trends any considerable distance into the future, however, is a notoriously risky undertaking. So many human variables are involved that all too frequently such projections make a mockery of the demographer's best efforts. Regardless of how sophisticated are the statistical models used, long-range population forcasting is statistical guessing with a fairly wide margin of error. Eastern Kentucky and Central Appalachia, in general, present an especially formidable challenge. Since the beginning of the 20th Century the economy of the region has been tied to one product, coal, …
