Strengthening Security And Oversight At Biological Research Laboratories, Michael Greenberger

Congressional Testimony

With the advent of the Anthrax attacks in the fall of 2001, this Nation has been confronted with a serious policy conundrum. On the one hand, we have strengthened programs that encourage the use of our best scientific resources to develop countermeasures to the weaponization of highly dangerous biopathogens. On the other hand, research on those countermeasures requires the use of the very biopathogens we seek to defeat. There have been many mishaps in the handling of those pathogens, which raises the frightening prospect that the research may be as (or more) dangerous than the potential bioterrorist acts themselves. Indeed, …

Suicide Attempts Among Latinas Who Experienced Early Sex Were Largely Mediated By Substance Abuse, Patria Rojas, Sunny Kim, Mario De La Rosa, Wayway M. Hlaing, Theophille Niyonsenga

Florida Public Health Review

The purpose of this study was to describe the role of substance abuse as a mediating factor between early sexual experiences and suicide attempts among adult Latinas. In our study participants (n=158), nearly 15% had attempted suicide and 39% experienced their first sexual encounter at an age of 15 or younger (referred to hereafter as “early sex”). Latinas who experienced early sex were more likely to attempt suicide [OR=2.4, p<0.05], and this relationship was largely mediated by substance abuse. An early sexual debut may indicate an environmental adversity on the child that calls for long term intervention for prevention of substance abuse as well as promotion of psychological well-being later in life.

A Market Model Of Education?, Anthony Ashbolt

Anthony Ashbolt

Milton Friedman introduced the concept of vouchers in education over fifty years ago. Thankfully the world ignored him. Nonetheless, the various victories of neoliberal doctrine from the early 1970s on in the USA, England and Australia placed vouchers on the agenda but not as a central platform. It is one of those policy ideas that is embraced with enthusiasm periodically only to retreat into the recesses of think tanks whose priorities are tax relief for the wealthy and real or imagined wars. When the governments of choice for these tanks are replaced by ones with a thin veneer of progressive …

Insider Experiences Of The Qualitative Report’S Reviewing Process, Pamela Felder, Tom Strong, Jennifer Ronald

The Qualitative Report

We (Pamela, Tom, and Jenn) wanted to give you our insiders’ experiences of the manuscript submission and reviewing process at The Qualitative Report (TQR). Respectively, we are a researcher-author, an instructor-reviewer, and a student-reviewer who were involved in the reviewing process that resulted in the publication of Pamela’s TQR article: On Doctoral Student Development: Exploring Faculty Mentoring in the Shaping of African American Doctoral Student Success (Felder, in press). In this brief article, we will adopt a somewhat conversational approach to relating our individual and collective experiences. How we came to work together, what that work entailed, and our experiences …

The Du Ponts In Kentucky: Louisville’S Central Park, The Southern Exposition, And An Entrepreneurial Spirit*, Timothy J. Mullin

SCL Faculty and Staff Publications

* The du Pont family is large, and recurring names and nicknames often make it difficult to follow who’s who. The Lammot family is woven together with the du Pont family in a complicated thread, especially since Margaretta was a favorite name. Adding the Coleman/Moxham family only makes the complicated spider’s web of family relationships that much more difficult. For this purpose selected family trees are included as appendices.

¿Constitución, Leyes Y Políticas Garantistas De Seguridad Ciudadana?, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

El Marco institucional de la Seguridad Ciudadana se ha transformado notablemente en el país desde que Rafael Correa asume la Presidencia de la República. Es una mutación bastante significativa, que tiene –entre otros- tres componentes: la conformación de un nuevo marco jurídico, la transformación de la arquitectura institucional y la presencia de unas políticas de seguridad; lo cual muestra la importancia que el gobierno nacional le ha asignado al tema.

El Marco legal ha sufrido una sustancial modificación, que se sustenta en la aprobación de la nueva Constitución y la redacción de dos leyes fundamentales: la reforma al Código Penal …

La Descentralización En Bolivia, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

En la década de los años noventa del siglo pasado, Bolivia fue un referente de la cooperación internacional en América Latina. Fue un proceso que estuvo ligado al proceso de Reforma del Estado en el marco de los acuerdos de Consenso de Washington, y sus éxitos llegaron a ser definidos como el "milagro boliviano". En ese contexto, la descentralización fue convertida en un "caso exitoso", al extremo de que se la difundía por todos los países de la región.

El gran logro obtenido por la descentralización, con 15 años de perspectiva histórica, fue la creación del municipalismo. La presencia del …
