The Impact Of Industrialized Animal Agriculture On World Hunger
The Impact Of Industrialized Animal Agriculture On World Hunger
Agribusiness Reports
Of the world’s nearly 6.8 billion humans, almost 1 billion people are malnourished. Feeding half the world’s grain crop to animals raised for meat, eggs, and milk instead of directly to humans is a significant waste of natural resources, including fossil fuels, water, and land. Raising animals for food is also a major contributor to global warming, which is expected to further worsen food security globally. To meet the daily nutritional needs of a rapidly expanding population, the world’s human community, particularly in Western countries, must reduce its reliance on animal products and shift to a more plant-based diet.
The Implications Of Farm Animal-Based Bioenergy Production
The Implications Of Farm Animal-Based Bioenergy Production
Agribusiness Reports
As the current and potential impacts of climate change become more evident and increasingly urgent, entities such as governments, corporations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are seeking out non-fossil fuelbased sources of energy to mitigate those effects. In addition, many governments are investigating ways to promote their own domestic energy sources as a result of rising oil prices. Bioenergy—made from recently living organic matter, such as plants, agricultural waste and crop residue, meat processing wastes, or farmed animals’ fats and manure—has quickly become one of the fastest growing, and controversial, alternative energy sources. Globally, production of biofuels, generally used for transport, …
Reflective Materials And The Use Of Glitter In Art Therapy, Amber Dee Mazza
Reflective Materials And The Use Of Glitter In Art Therapy, Amber Dee Mazza
Art Therapy | Master's Theses in Print
This paper hypothesizes that glitter is an important media in art therapy. This research asked the question, what is the significance and clinical application of glitter in art therapy? Glitter is a commonly used art material and research on the subject matter is absent. The method used was survey research with quantitative and qualitative questions. Seven hundred and fifty eight members of the American Art Therapy Association completed the survey. Glitter has significant meaning in reference to Cathy Moon’s theory of materiality, and can be used to bring light to client art work.

Ce 555 Syllabus: Addictions Counseling: Psychopharmacology, Cyndi Briggs
Ce 555 Syllabus: Addictions Counseling: Psychopharmacology, Cyndi Briggs
Counselor Education Syllabi
Addictions counselors must have an understanding of the effects of licit and illicit drugs on the brain and body. In this 2-credit online course, students will come to understand basic classifications, indications, and contraindications of drugs including prescribed psychopharmacological medications, illicit drugs, and alcohol. This knowledge helps addictions counselors make appropriate referrals for medication evaluations and identify side effects. Students will also learn about basic brain and body responses to drugs of abuse.
Punishment For Noncompliance And Reward For Compliance: A Comparison Of Japanese And American Workers, Emiko Kobayashi, Harold R. Kerbo
Punishment For Noncompliance And Reward For Compliance: A Comparison Of Japanese And American Workers, Emiko Kobayashi, Harold R. Kerbo
Social Sciences
In a recent series of articles, Kobayashi and Grasmick have applied an extended model of deterrence and rational decision-making to a comparative study of Japanese and American workers’ violation of workplace rules. These previous studies draw from control theory in the sociological study of deviance and focus on the costs of noncompliance. The present paper, building on differential association/social learning theory, adds a new dimension—the rewards of compliance—to this comparative project. In workplace settings, decisions by workers to comply or not comply with rules are based on perceptions of punishment associated with noncompliance and on perceptions of rewards associated with …
Urbanization, Kin Dispersion, And Daughter-Biased Parental Investment In Fiji, Dawn B. Neill
Urbanization, Kin Dispersion, And Daughter-Biased Parental Investment In Fiji, Dawn B. Neill
Social Sciences
Parental investment decisions guide the actions parents take regarding child productive work and are shaped by ecological context. Urban ecology modifies tradeoffs to long-term investments in human capital, thereby increasing opportunity costs for children to participate in production and lower levels of work should result. Though child work has an immediate return, parents are expected to trade some level of short-term gain for educational investment that will result in higher long-term returns from experience-based embodied capital. It is predicted that children who perform well in school will do less productive work and that urban ecology will amplify the effect of …
Fast Food Foraging: The Impact Of Neighborhood, Household And Cultural Factors On Dietary Decision-Making And Bmi In South Los Angeles, Dawn B. Neill, Deborah E. Schechter
Fast Food Foraging: The Impact Of Neighborhood, Household And Cultural Factors On Dietary Decision-Making And Bmi In South Los Angeles, Dawn B. Neill, Deborah E. Schechter
Social Sciences
Previous research has linked neighborhood characteristics and obesity trends. In particular, lack of access to affordable, healthy food is seen as contributing to poor dietary habits and low levels of physical activity. At the household level, food choices are often shaped by time constraints where working families use fast food to cope with low pay and long, inflexible work schedules, and as a strategy to reduce work-family conflict and minimize time and energy expenditures. For individuals, food preferences are related to cultural values such as eating traditional foods or consuming low calorie foods to maintain body weight. Thus, decisions about …

Scaffolding: A Promising Approach To Fostering Critical Thinking, Laurie Browne, Melissa Hough, Keri Schwab
Scaffolding: A Promising Approach To Fostering Critical Thinking, Laurie Browne, Melissa Hough, Keri Schwab
Recreation, Parks and Tourism Administration
Many undergraduate students struggle when asked to engage in critical thinking. One approach we have found useful in fostering critical thinking is scaffolding, a process that involves the use of prompts, supports, and modeling to build a removable structure from which students can learn complex thinking skills. Through the development of these critical thinking skills, students are better able to analyze and formulate recommendations for real world applications. This paper discusses how to incorporate a critical thinking scaffold to guide the design and facilitation of a case-based learningdiscussed.

More Than "Just" Music: Four Performative Topoi, The Phish Phenomenon, And The Power Of Music In/And Performance, Jnan Blau
Communication Studies
This article explores the relevance performance studies to music scholarship by doing three interrelated actions. First, the author reassesses Pelias and VanOosting’s influential essay “A Paradigm for Performance Studies,” and suggest that their four performative topoi offer important insights into establishing transdisciplinary connections between music scholarship and performance studies. The second and third prongs of the essay unfold as the author moves through a discussion of two scholars’ work and approaches to music and performance studies, Philip Auslander’s and himself. Reflecting on the author’s research on the U.S.-based band Phish and its scene, he attempts to leave the reader with …
Informative Advertising In Differentiated Oligopoly Markets, Stephen F. Hamilton
Informative Advertising In Differentiated Oligopoly Markets, Stephen F. Hamilton
Economics
This paper examines the welfare implications of informative advertising in differentiated product oligopoly markets. The analysis reconciles the conflicting results in previous studies that find advertising to be undersupplied in homogeneous product markets, but oversupplied in differentiated product markets when the degree of differentiation is "small". In equilibrium, purely informative advertising is undersupplied when brands are sufficiently close substitutes and oversupplied when brands are more differentiated. Product differentiation also has welfare implications for the effect of technological change in the advertising sector. In response to an advertising cost innovation, equilibrium prices fall and the market converges to the socially optimal …
