The Effect Of Individual Psychological Characteristics In The Use Of Computerised Information Systems, Farideh Yaghmaie, Peter Caputi, Rohan Jayasuriya
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Investments in computerised information systems in the health industry in evident in most parts of the world. In hospitals and other Healthcare settings, increasingly, hands-on computer use is becoming an important behaviour for effective job perfonnance for health professionals. As the pre-employment (professional) training is provided at a number of different settings the exposure health workers have to computing will vary. Providing training and support to such end-users becomes a complex problem. In addition, based on their prior exposure to computer technology in their work place individuals will have different experiences that make implementation of such systems more complex. Individual …

Training And Support Of Developing-Country Population Scientists: A Panel Report, Jane Menken, Ann K. Blanc, Cynthia B. Lloyd
Training And Support Of Developing-Country Population Scientists: A Panel Report, Jane Menken, Ann K. Blanc, Cynthia B. Lloyd
Poverty, Gender, and Youth
This report offers an assessment of the current situation and needs for the future with regard to training population professionals. As the concerns of population scientists become more diverse and as institutions look beyond the limitations of their own programs, collaborative training programs are increasingly seen as an effective means of maximizing the training experience of students while potentially lowering overall costs. While it is clear that the most desirable situation is one in which population experts are trained primarily in high-quality institutions located in their own countries or regions, it is equally clear that this scenario is not likely …
Changes In Functional Limitations And Survival Among The Elderly In Taiwan: 1993, 1996, And 1999, Zachary Zimmer, Linda G. Martin, Ming-Cheng Chang
Changes In Functional Limitations And Survival Among The Elderly In Taiwan: 1993, 1996, And 1999, Zachary Zimmer, Linda G. Martin, Ming-Cheng Chang
Poverty, Gender, and Youth
This paper focuses on changes in the prevalence of functional limitations among nationally representative samples of adults aged 65 and older in Taiwan as measured in 1993, 1996, and 1999. Using data from the Survey of Health and Living Status of the Elderly in Taiwan, we investigate changes in difficulties walking and climbing stairs, two tasks that represent basic lower body movements that are less likely to be influenced by changes in living environments and social roles than are activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living. Results are shown for both unadjusted prevalence rates and rates adjusted …
The Effect Of Gender Differences In Primary School Access, Type, And Quality On The Decision To Enroll In Rural Pakistan, Cynthia B. Lloyd, Cem Mete, Zeba Sathar
The Effect Of Gender Differences In Primary School Access, Type, And Quality On The Decision To Enroll In Rural Pakistan, Cynthia B. Lloyd, Cem Mete, Zeba Sathar
Poverty, Gender, and Youth
The paper explores the effect of primary school access, type, and quality on the decision to enroll in rural Pakistan using a 1997 survey especially designed for this purpose. A unique contribution of the paper is the construction of gender-specific dimensions of school accessibility and school quality according to school type (i.e., public vs. private). Within the same village, girls and boys often face starkly different options for schooling in terms of distance, type, and quality. Public primary schools are segregated by sex; private schools, whose numbers have grown rapidly in recent years in response to rising demand and the …
Social Movement Unionism And Economic Unionism In Thailand, Napaporn Ativanichayapong
Social Movement Unionism And Economic Unionism In Thailand, Napaporn Ativanichayapong
Asian Review
After the student uprising in 1973, Thai trade unions adopted social unionism. They allied with other forces, especially students, and promoted issues of benefit to other social classes. This phase ended with the coup of 1976. When union activity again became possible in the 1980s, the unions turned to economic unionism. They campaigned on issues of specific worker benefit (wages, social security), but allowed their alliances to decay, and forfeited broad support. In the 1990s, female workers again forged broad social alliances to fight campaigns on issues of specific female interest (maternity leave, occupational health). Because of its weakness, the …

Review Of Buffalo Bill's Wild West: Celebrity, Memory, And Popular History By Joy S. Kasson, Sarah J. Blackstone
Great Plains Quarterly
Joy Kasson's study of William Cody as the first modern celebrity, a man who took advantage of every medium and life experience to build on his fame and accrue a fortune, is a good addition to the existing material on Buffalo Bill. It synthesizes the huge variety of material available on Cody and provides a focused look at the aspects of his life that affected the myth of the American West.
The book's real strength is its author's ability to walk the fine line between admiration of Cody and excoriation. She achieves a balanced portrait of this complicated man by …
Review Of The Indian Territory Journals Of Colonel Richard Irving Dodge Edited By Wayne R. Kime, Scott Eckberg
Review Of The Indian Territory Journals Of Colonel Richard Irving Dodge Edited By Wayne R. Kime, Scott Eckberg
Great Plains Quarterly
Professional soldier, avid sportsman, boisterous raconteur, acute observer: this composite is vividly conveyed in Wayne R. Kime's superbly-edited journals of Lieutenant Colonel Richard Irving Dodge.
Written during intervals of intense military activity in 1878-1880, Dodge describes actions that reinforced federal Indian policy on the Great Plains. Ranging from Kansas to Indian Territory, the expanse that later became Oklahoma, Dodge was in his element and at the prime of his career at a significant juncture of frontier Plains history.
Dodge served as a field commander during the Northern Cheyenne outbreak and as commanding officer of Cantonment North Fork Canadian River, the …
Review Of Sacred Legacy: Edward S. Curtis And The North American Indian Photography And Text By Edward S. Curtis, Richard Francaviglia
Review Of Sacred Legacy: Edward S. Curtis And The North American Indian Photography And Text By Edward S. Curtis, Richard Francaviglia
Great Plains Quarterly
In the early 1970s, a massive body of photographs of Native Americans by Edward S. Curtis came to light after nearly fifty years of obscurity. The work, comprising 45,000 to 50,000 negatives and 10,000 wax cylinder recordings of language and music, had been distilled down to 2,200 photographs and 4,000 Museum, geographer James Shortridge uses about 150 of Pennell's photographs to document the life and times of Junction City during a period considered by some to be the halcyon days of the small town in America.
To supplement the photographs and written descriptions, Shortridge also prepared seven original maps showing …
Review Of World War Ii And The American Indian By Kenneth William Townsend, Tom Holm
Review Of World War Ii And The American Indian By Kenneth William Townsend, Tom Holm
Great Plains Quarterly
Although the publisher claims on its jacket cover that Kenneth William Townsend's World War II and the American Indian "offers the first history of the twenty-five thousand Native Americans who served during World War II," it is actually the third general history of Native American participation in the war effort. Alison R. Bernstein's American Indians and World War II (1991) and Jere Bishop Franco's Crossing the Pond: The Native American Effort in World War II (1999) precede it, as have several smaller scale or more focused studies. Numerous biographies dealing with Native American veterans of the war, studies of the …
Review Of New Essays On My Antonia Edited By Sharon O'Brien, Andrew Jewell
Review Of New Essays On My Antonia Edited By Sharon O'Brien, Andrew Jewell
Great Plains Quarterly
In her introductory essay, Sharon O'Brien correctly claims that My Antonia's critical history illustrates the indeterminacy of meaning, for even in this relatively short book one is struck by the variety of responses evoked by Willa Cather's novel. From the first essay, suggesting the "sweetness" of Cather's narrative, to the last, recording the violence of Jim Burden's hegemonic presence, this collection gives readers a fresh, if sometimes unconvincing; look at one of the most famous novels of the Great Plains.
Miles Orvell's essay "Time, Change, and the Burden of Revision in My Antonia" gives us the first argument …
Review Of Native American Spirituality: A Critical Reader Edited By Lee Irwin, Christopher Vecsey
Review Of Native American Spirituality: A Critical Reader Edited By Lee Irwin, Christopher Vecsey
Great Plains Quarterly
Lee Irwin, whose earlier writing has focused on Plains Indian visionary traditions, has gathered fourteen essays (including one of his own) that express current thinking about North American Indian religions. The authors include Indians, part-Indians and non-Indians, mostly trained anthropologists, and historians of religion.
They are all self-conscious about their scholarly mission: To what extent do they have the authority to represent Indian religious practice and belief to non-Indian audiences? How should the history of religious persecution (of Indians by non-Indians) in the Americas frame the treatment of their subject matter? How can they incorporate Indian viewpoints through dialogue? How …
A Slave To Yellow Peril The 1886 Chinese Ouster Attempt In Wichita, Kansas, Julie Courtwright
A Slave To Yellow Peril The 1886 Chinese Ouster Attempt In Wichita, Kansas, Julie Courtwright
Great Plains Quarterly
Wichita's war on the Chinese began in 1886. Although a small war in comparison to other anti-Chinese outbursts in the American West, the persecution and violence against the city's small Asian population was nonetheless terrifying and significant to those who were the focus of the racist demonstrations. In an attempt to follow the national anti-Chinese trend of the late nineteenth century, which the Chinese called the "driving out time,"1 groups such as the local assemblies of the Knights of Labor and the Women's Industrial League in Wichita, Kansas, organized a boycott against Chinese businesses. Citizens attacked the "yellow peril" …
Comprehensive Community Initiatives (Cci): A Comparison Of Community Implementation Plans, Teri L. Perkins
Comprehensive Community Initiatives (Cci): A Comparison Of Community Implementation Plans, Teri L. Perkins
University of Nebraska Public Policy Center: Publications
People in crisis often require multiple community services. A homeless person may need medical health care and behavioral health care, along with shelter. A woman who is the victim of domestic abuse may need help with childcare, transportation, food, and emergency housing. Comprehensive community initiatives (CCIs) attempt to provide this interrelated range of community services.
CCIs developed as a part of community building efforts in the late 1980’s (Kubisch, 1996; Stagner and Duran, 1997). “Comprehensive” can either refer to an initiative that incorporates social, educational, cultural, physical, and economic development in a community or to an initiative whose purpose is …

In November 2000, the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center (PPC) and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Center on Children, Families and the Law (CCFL) entered into a partnership with the Lincoln/Lancaster County Joint Budget Committee (JBC) and United Way of Lincoln/Lancaster County (UW). The purpose of this University-Community partnership has been to facilitate implementation of the Lincoln/Lancaster County Human Services Three-Year Comprehensive Plan (Plan). It has since become known as C-SIP (the Community Services Implementation Project). PPC and CCFL have been serving in a coordinating and technical assistance role for the overall process including: providing staff support and technical assistance …

An Optimal Fair Job Assignment Problem, Zaifu Yang
An Optimal Fair Job Assignment Problem, Zaifu Yang
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
We study the problem of how to allocate a set of indivisible objects like jobs or houses and an amount of money among a group of people as fairly and as efficiently as possible. A particular constraint for such an allocation is that every person should be assigned with the same number of objects in his or her bundle. The preferences of people depend on the bundle of objects and the quantity of money they take. We propose a solution to this problem, called a perfectly fair allocation. It is shown that every perfectly fair allocation is efficient and envy-free, …
How Long Do We Live?, John Bongaarts, Griffith Feeney
How Long Do We Live?, John Bongaarts, Griffith Feeney
Poverty, Gender, and Youth
Period life expectancy is calculated from age-specific death rates using life table methods that are among the oldest and most fundamental tools of demography. These methods are rarely questioned, much less criticized. Yet changing age patterns of adult mortality in contemporary countries with high life expectancy provide a basis for questioning the conventional use of age-specific death rates and life tables. This paper argues that when the mean age at death is rising, period life expectancy at birth as conventionally calculated overestimates life expectancy. Estimates of this upward bias, ranging from 1.6 years for the United States and Sweden to …
Competition Policy Under Laissez-Faireism : Market Power And Its Treatment In Hong Kong, K. Y., Edward Chen, Ping Lin
Competition Policy Under Laissez-Faireism : Market Power And Its Treatment In Hong Kong, K. Y., Edward Chen, Ping Lin
Centre for Public Policy Studies : CPPS Working Paper Series
The paper describes the current competition policy framework in Hong Kong: how it came into existence, what business practices are prohibited, and how the enforcement system works. Recent cases in the telecommunications industry are used to illustrate the sectoral approach, the unique feature of Hong Kong’s competition policy. The paper argues that a sectoral approach faces two fundamental drawbacks. First, due to having different “rules of the game” for different sectors, the allocation of resources may be distorted in the long run. Second, since the relevant regulatory agencies perform dual roles both as competition policy enforcer and as traditional regulator …
Quality Of Life Of The Chinese Elderly In Hong Kong : Preliminary Findings From Two Focus Groups Studies, Cheung Ming, Alfred Chan, Sheung Tak Cheng, David Rosser Phillips
Quality Of Life Of The Chinese Elderly In Hong Kong : Preliminary Findings From Two Focus Groups Studies, Cheung Ming, Alfred Chan, Sheung Tak Cheng, David Rosser Phillips
APIAS Monograph 專題論文
In addressing the issues of developing a culturally sensitive and elderly relevant measure of quality of life, the research teams resort to a multi-staged approach. The first is to take on an easier target group (i.e. those living in community and are reasonably mobile) in an attempt to develop an initial measure for the elderly people living in community. Assuming that this initial measurement will be largely applicable to the frail ones, an alternative version will be developed based on the modification of the former. So the first stage was a series of focus groups designed to exhaust meanings and …

Money, Credit, And Banking In Colonial And Postcolonial West Africa, Akanmu G. Adebayo
Money, Credit, And Banking In Colonial And Postcolonial West Africa, Akanmu G. Adebayo
Faculty Articles
Scholarship in African economic history has been dominated by a wave of revisionism lately. The degree of African indebtedness, the imperatives of loan repayment, and the long-term implications of ongoing political and economic changes, all make such a revision exigent indeed. Focusing on the Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria, this paper produces new evidence to reinterpret and redefine African precolonial financial institutions. The paper has two main parts. Part 1 focuses on the introduction of cowrie currency into Yorubaland and its impact on social stratification. Part 2 examines ajo, the savings institution, esusu, the rotating savings and credit associations (roscas), and …

Peer Education As A Strategy To Increase Contraceptive Prevalence And Reduce The Rate Of Stis/Hiv Among Adolescents In Cameroon, Institut De Recherche Et Des Etudes Des Comportements (Iresco)
Reproductive Health
The Institute for Behavioral Studies and Research completed an operations research project entitled “Among Youth” targeting adolescents in the Mokolo neighborhood of Yaoundé, Cameroon. The results presented in this report show that adolescents in Mokolo, more often than their counterparts in the control site, adopted behavioral changes to prevent STI/HIV transmission and unwanted pregnancies as a result of the intervention. The report concludes that peer education combined with mass media campaigns form an important strategy for targeting youth with reproductive health and family planning messages and can help adolescents translate knowledge into healthy lifestyles. Integration of reproductive health messages into …
Dancing With The Trickster Notes For A Transpersonal Autobiography, Stanley Krippner
Dancing With The Trickster Notes For A Transpersonal Autobiography, Stanley Krippner
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
This autobiographical essay focuses on "transpersonal," "anomalous," and "exceptional"
experiences, those elements often ignored when individuals write the stories of their lives.
Nevertheless, these experiences have life-transformative potentials that may be more salient
than the activities usually serving as the basis for autobiographical accounts.
