Personality Traits And The Extent To Which They Are Valued By Practicing Physical Therapists In The General Hospital Setting, Shiela M. Robison, Rachel K. Seppanen
Masters Theses
This descriptive study seeks to identify the value placed on personality traits by physical therapists and to develop a personality trait profile indicating what is desired of physical therapists in the general hospital setting. Five hundred surveys were sent to the physical therapy (PT) directors of a nationwide sample of randomly selected hospitals accredited by the American Hospital Association with greater than 75, but less than 150 beds. Two hundred and ninety-four surveys (59%) were returned. Survey responses were coded and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The data was analyzed by using the descriptive measures …
News As A Political Resource: Media Strategies And Political Identity In The U.S. Women's Movement, 1966-1975, Bernadette Barker-Plummer
News As A Political Resource: Media Strategies And Political Identity In The U.S. Women's Movement, 1966-1975, Bernadette Barker-Plummer
Media Studies
This paper discusses news as a political resource for social movements. Specifically, the paper elaborates a conceptualization of news as a discursive resource, and suggests a dialogical model for media‐movement relationships. The paper then uses this framework to investigate the interactions with news media of U.S. women's movement groups. It describes how the two “branches” of the women's movement understood news differently and developed quite different and specific strategies which are called media pragmatism and media subversion. The study raises questions not only about what kind of resource news might be, and to whom it might be available, but also …

Evidence That Luminant And Equiluminant Motion Signals Are Integrated By Directionally Selective Mechanisms, Susan Heidenreich, G L. Zimmerman
Evidence That Luminant And Equiluminant Motion Signals Are Integrated By Directionally Selective Mechanisms, Susan Heidenreich, G L. Zimmerman
Psychology
Three experiments tested whether motion information for nonequiluminant (luminant) and equiluminant dots affects direction judgments when both types of stimuli are moving simultaneously in the same display. The motion directions for the two sets of dots were manipulated to produce four direction differences (0°, 30°, 60°, and 90°). The equiluminant dots were moved in a perfectly correlated fashion, but the percentage of correlated motion for the luminant dots was varied. When subjects judged whether the directions of the equiluminant and luminant dots were the same or different, performance for the conditions with 0°, 60°, and 90° difference improved as the …
On The Brink Of Reform? Restructuring The Un Security Council, Christopher Costello
On The Brink Of Reform? Restructuring The Un Security Council, Christopher Costello
Honors Theses, 1963-2015
The United Nations is based on the principle of collective security-- nations banding together to protect each other from aggression, both from within the group of nations and from the outside. However, the standard operating procedures of collective security, as embodied by the UN, is unable to meet the changing needs of the international community. This is due in part to the shift in the global power structure and the Security Council's lack of accurate geo-political representation. If the UN expects to continue its efforts to maintain international peace and security, the Security Council's composition must change.

Catherine Mackinnon And The Pornography Debate, Patrick Larkin
Catherine Mackinnon And The Pornography Debate, Patrick Larkin
Honors Theses, 1963-2015
In 1983, Catherine MacKinnon, introduced a new and innovative legal approach to the proliferating problem of pornography. Citing that the current court standard of judging sexually explicit material, obscenity doctrine, did not adequatley address women's issues, MacKinnon devised a city ordinance that would provide a legal definition of pornography concentrating on women's concerns. Ultimately, the civil ordinance would provide a means for women to present the injurious harms done to them by pornography and to seek a remedy in an open court of law. However, the city ordinance stirred controversy. At question was the ordinance's authority within the confines of …

Homosexual Rights And Citizen Initiatives: Is Constitutionalism Unconstitutional?, Richard F. Duncan, Gary L. Young
Homosexual Rights And Citizen Initiatives: Is Constitutionalism Unconstitutional?, Richard F. Duncan, Gary L. Young
Nebraska College of Law: Faculty Publications
Grassroots initiatives like Amendment Two are the product of a populist revolt against restrictive homosexual rights laws. These initiatives are an attempt by the people to protect their basic civil liberties and to promote equal citizenship values. Homosexual rights legislation stigmatizes, marginalizes, and fences out groups and individuals who hold traditional beliefs about sexual morality. Citizen initiatives operate to remove this stigma and its harmful consequences by restoring government to a position of benign neutrality regarding competing visions of human sexuality.
When initiatives like Amendment Two are approved by vote of the people, they are likely to be challenged under …

Structuring Skinner: Argument, Structure, And Metaphor In Verbal Behavior, Patrick Hamilton
Structuring Skinner: Argument, Structure, And Metaphor In Verbal Behavior, Patrick Hamilton
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
Skinner’s purpose in Verbal Behavior is to make the study of behavior a science and thus to eliminate argument, rhetoric, and metaphor. But clearly Skinner has not completely eliminated argument, rhetoric, and metaphor from his study. This discussion of Skinner’s work demonstrates that these rhetorical and persuasive ways are tied into his "scientific" investigation of language and verbal behavior, and in many ways, it is these very methods that allow Skinner to create and describe his conception of verbal behavior, even as he claims to be eliminating and avoiding the use of these techniques. This analysis of Skinner's Verbal Behavior …

[Review Of] Alfred Arteaga, Ed. An Other Tongue, Kumiko Takahara
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
People who are regarded as minorities by their dominant peers are pressured to establish their identity as citizens of a nation and as individuals of a distinct culture. Their identity may be articulated differently governed by such factors as language, race, gender, political and economical status, and so on. All of the fifteen essays collected in this book are purported to address various material conditions of discourse revolving around nation and ethnicity with special focus on linguistic conditions in the United States, the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia. These essays roughly fall into two categories according to their focus either on …

[Review Of] Dickson D. Bruce, Jr. Archibald Grimke: Portrait Of A Black Independent, Vernon J. Williams Jr
[Review Of] Dickson D. Bruce, Jr. Archibald Grimke: Portrait Of A Black Independent, Vernon J. Williams Jr
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In this superb work which is the first full-scale biography of a man who played a major role in the drama that is African American history, Dickson D. Bruce, Jr. emerges as both a master of archival detective work and story-telling. This professor of history at the University of California at Irvine depicts lucidly why Grimké, though not of the stature of Booker T. Washington or W.E.B. DuBois, ”was a major figure of his time" and that "his thought and actions were considered of great significance by his contemporaries." "His life,” Bruce sums up quite aptly, ”was a testimony to …
[Review Of] Peter Eichstaedt. If You Poison Us: Uranium And Native Americans, Dorie S. Goldman
[Review Of] Peter Eichstaedt. If You Poison Us: Uranium And Native Americans, Dorie S. Goldman
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
"The history of our nation's relations with American Indians is one of ignorance, indifference, exploitation and broken promises." This statement opens journalist Peter Eichstaedt's book, If You Poison Us: Uranium and Native Americans, an examination of this abusive history supplemented with personal interviews, government documents, and a detailed bibliography. Eichstaedt's account of how America's quest for uranium led to mining on reservation lands, consequently poisoning both the land and the miners, is a useful study for someone working in Native American or justice studies while still remaining accessible to a general audience.

[Review Of] Melissa L. Meyer. The White Earth Tragedy: Ethnicity And Dispossession At A Minnesota Anishinaabe Reservation, 1889-1920, Raymond A. Bucko
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Employing a broad multi-disciplinary approach which includes history, anthropology, economics, demography, ecology, and political science, Meyer, a U.C.L.A. historian, has created a sensitive and sweeping analysis of the creation and metamorphosis of the Anishinaabeg ("Chippewa" or "Ojibwe”) who eventually located in contemporary Minnesota on the White Earth Reservation. Eschewing stereotypes of Indians as mere victims of Euro-American history, Meyer shows how the Anishinaabeg -- themselves internally heterogeneous -- transform, adapt, innovate and respond according to their own interests and to changes around them.
