Recreational Liability Bill Killed, J. David Aiken
Recreational Liability Bill Killed, J. David Aiken
Cornhusker Economics
Years of low commodity prices have encouraged farmers to consider adding alternative enterprises to their operation in order to improve farm income. Some farmers and ranchers have turned to community agriculture or “pick your own” operations (including organic agricultural production), and encourage customers to tour the farm when purchasing produce. Other operators have started a fee hunting enterprise. Still others have started a “pumpkin patch” type operation where visitors enjoy a variety of farm and outdoor amusements for a fee. While Nebraska law exempts landowners from recreational liability where no use fee is charged, landowners may be liable for injuries …

Hungary: Holding Back The Tiers, Kenneth Benoit
Hungary: Holding Back The Tiers, Kenneth Benoit
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
Hungary has a particularly complicated electoral system: a type of mixed system that incorporates three tiers of seat allocation, the use of a proportional allocation formula, and the allocation of a number of seats by a two-round system in single-member constituencies. Examination of the strategic incentives facing parties explains some surprising outcomes, such as the majoritarian impact on the party system and the possibility of the second strongest party in votes becoming the strongest in seats. Despite its complexity and alleged shortcomings, it is unlikely to be abandoned; it serves the interests of the largest parties, and these effectively wield …
Music And Moral Geographies: Constructions Of "Nation" And Identity In Singapore, Lily Kong
Music And Moral Geographies: Constructions Of "Nation" And Identity In Singapore, Lily Kong
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
In this paper, I attempt to pull together sociological and geographical perspectives in the study of music to understand the ways in which pop and rock music are socio-cultural products with political and moral meanings and implications. I examine state engineering of moral panics, focusing on a case study of pop and rock music in post-independence Singapore. Such engineering is aimed at political and ideological ends, in particular, "nation"- building outcomes. In engineering moral panics through both discursive and legislative acts, the contours of a moral geography are delineated at various spatial scales. First, at the scale of the national …
Learning Takes Many Forms During Mine Action Mangers' Course, Nicole Neitzey
Learning Takes Many Forms During Mine Action Mangers' Course, Nicole Neitzey
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
In the summer of 2005, 19 senior-level managers from mine action programs worldwide descended on James Madison University in the heart of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley to develop and improve their toolbox of management skills at a course sponsored by the United Nations Development Programme. Five weeks later, they left with a wealth of new knowledge, new friends and fond memories of their learning experience.
The Effect Of Values, Conscientiousness, And Self-Efficacy On Ethical Decision-Making, Marcy Young
The Effect Of Values, Conscientiousness, And Self-Efficacy On Ethical Decision-Making, Marcy Young
Student Work
This research explores the roles that values, conscientiousness, and self-efficacy play in ethical decision-making. Although previous research has shown that values affect ethical decision-making, few researchers have evaluated the effect that conscientiousness has on ethical decision-making. Research has evaluated the effect that self-efficacy has on ethical decision-making, but a relationship has not been found. The current study hypothesizes that individuals high in self-transcendence values will make more ethical decisions than individuals high in self-enhancement values. Also, individuals high in conscientiousness are expected to make more ethical decisions than individuals low in conscientiousness. Third, individuals high in self-efficacy are expected to …

Strategy Meets Evolution: Games Suppliers And Producers Play, Brishti Guha
Strategy Meets Evolution: Games Suppliers And Producers Play, Brishti Guha
Research Collection School Of Economics
Final goods producers, who may be intrinsically honest (a behavioral type) or opportunistic (strategic), play a repeated game of imperfect information with suppliers of an input of variable (and non-verifiable) quality. Returns to cheating are increasing in the proportion of intrinsically honest producers. If producers compete for another scarce input, adverse selection reduces this proportion enough to enforce universal honesty, whether at a high or a low quality equilibrium. This mechanism limits the proportion of behavioral types in the population of producers over a wide range of parameters: despite their inability to compete with opportunists, they are not wholly wiped …

Models Of American Indian Education: Cultural Inclusion And The Family/Community/School Linkage, Adrienne Freng, Scott Freng, Helen A. Moore
Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications
Educational research has explored the impact of culture and the linkage of families and communities to schools on student achievement among minority students. Little focus, however, has been placed on the family/community interactions with schools among culturally distinctive populations such as American Indians and students' perceptions of the educational process. This exploratory research examined the state of education from the perspective of American Indian young adults from various tribes in Nebraska. Instead of focusing on educational achievement, the emphasis of most educational research relating to American Indians, this study explored the model of education in existence. Additionally, researchers explored the …

A Modified Therapeutic Community: Reducing Violence In A Medium Security Prison, Lee Maglinger
A Modified Therapeutic Community: Reducing Violence In A Medium Security Prison, Lee Maglinger
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This study explores the impact a modified therapeutic community has on institutional disorder. Treatment programs are normally evaluated by their ability to prevent recidivism and relapse. This study examines the efficacy of a modified therapeutic community in reducing the number and severity of write-ups of its clients in a medium security male prison. The study describes research findings regarding the relationship between the write-ups of clients in a modified therapeutic community compared with the write-ups of inmates in a non-treatment unit. To carry out this study, the author reviewed the write-up records from the treatment program and a non-treatment unit …

M. “Sudsy” Tschiderer—a longtime director of Student Activities—this collection includes organizational and operational records of a popular campus gathering place, the Mushroom Coffeehouse. Also known as Pot-Pourri, this student-initiated facility provided a venue for music, movies, and entertainment during the early and mid- 1970s. Sudsy Tschiderer and Patricia J. “Pat” Sciarappa played an instrumental role in establishing this venue in a former U. S. Maritime Service building that sat along Asbury Street South, next to the pool (at …

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
Years of demining and mine action operations have reduced the number of casualties in Afghanistan, and lives are beginning to improve. Yet about eight percent of the estimated 33,000 communities in the country continue to be impacted and 12 percent of those are considered high-impact communities.

Suriname Demining Mission, Juan Carlos Ruan
Suriname Demining Mission, Juan Carlos Ruan
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
After achieving independence in 1975, the Republic of Suriname experienced periods of intense political and economic instability. In 1986, a guerrilla war broke out in the eastern region of the country. For the next six years, the armed forces of Suriname were involved in a conflict with five insurgency groups, during which time an estimated 1,000 anti-personnel mines were employed. Following the signing of a peace treaty in 1992, the Organization of American States participated in demining operations supported by the governments of Holland, Guyana and Brazil. All mines were destroyed, with the excep-tion of one minefield sown by the …

This down-in-the-trenches story about using a Casspir fitted with steel wheels to demine in Mozambique in the early 1990s makes you feel like you are right there. Getting rid of the mines was not the only problem the deminers had; sometimes getting past the insurgents was more challenging.
