Family Labor Participation And Child Care Decisions: The Role Of Grannies, Gema Zamarro
Family Labor Participation And Child Care Decisions: The Role Of Grannies, Gema Zamarro
Education Reform Faculty and Graduate Students Publications
One of the most significant long term trends in the labor market in most OECD countries has been the increase in the proportion of working mothers. However, not all countries show the same pattern. Countries in Southern Europe (Italy, Greece and Spain) show an average participation rate of about 45% whereas the participation rates in Northern countries (Denmark, Sweden) are around 75%. The characteristics of child care systems also differ significantly across OECD countries. This along with the characteristics of the labor market may have led families to get the necessary social services in an alternative way, i.e. through grandmothers. …

How The Ten Year Plan To End Homelessness Has Affected Delivery Of Services, Anne Wangui Wahome
Theses Digitization Project
The County of San Bernardino Homeless Partnership has developed a ten-year plan to end homelessness in the County of San Bernardino. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded jurisdictions within the San Bernardino County nearly {dollar}7 million to be used to provide financial assistance and services to prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless and help those who are experiencing homelessness to be quickly re-housed and stabilized. The purpose of this study was to interview the case managers, directors, and managers of the facilities that were awarded the funds by HUD, to find out how the program has helped them in …
Analysis Of Median Incomes As Adjusted For The Costs Of Goods And Services In The 100 Most Populous Metro Areas, David J. Drozd
Analysis Of Median Incomes As Adjusted For The Costs Of Goods And Services In The 100 Most Populous Metro Areas, David J. Drozd
Past Publications
In 2007 the Center for Public Affairs Research (CPAR) released an analysis of 2006 American Community Survey (ACS) income data from the U. S. Census Bureau. These data were adjusted for the costs of goods as services (COGS) using indices released by the Council for Community and Economic Research. At that time the Omaha metro area ranked 2nd best among the 100 most populous metros for which data were available regarding this “purchasing power”. The Omaha metro’s median income in 2006 dollars was $51,627, but when accounting for Omaha’s relatively low cost of goods and services, this income had …

Hispanic/Latino Changes In Nebraska's Population: 1980-2010, David J. Drozd
Past Publications
The Hispanic/Latino population has risen dramatically in Nebraska. After totaling about 28,000 Nebraska residents in 1980, the Hispanic/Latino population increased by about 9,000 or 32 percent to about 37,000 in 1990. Then the Hispanic/Latino population more than doubled in the 1990s, to more than 94,000 persons, an increase of more than 57,000 or about 155 percent. The 2010 census showed continued growth and more than 167,000 Hispanic/Latino Nebraska residents, an increase of nearly 73,000 or 77 percent since 2000.

Unmet Healthcare Needs Of Native American Populations In Douglas And Lancaster Counties, Center For Public Affairs Research (Cpar)
Past Publications
In 2010 The UNO Center for Organizational Research and Evaluation (CORE) completed a comprehensive study of the problems and unmet healthcare needs of Native American populations (approximately 3,700 persons) in Nebraska’s Douglas and Lancaster counties for the Nebraska Urban Indian Health Coalition (NUIHC). The major findings of this analysis are in the four study areas: 1) healthcare insurance coverage, 2) healthcare services and usage, 3) satisfaction with services and 4) perceptions of personal and community health...
First Difference Mle And Dynamic Panel Estimation, Chirok Han, Peter C.B. Phillips
First Difference Mle And Dynamic Panel Estimation, Chirok Han, Peter C.B. Phillips
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
First difference maximum likelihood (FDML) seems an attractive estimation methodology in dynamic panel data modeling because differencing eliminates fixed effects and, in the case of a unit root, differencing transforms the data to stationarity, thereby addressing both incidental parameter problems and the possible effects of nonstationarity. This paper draws attention to certain pathologies that arise in the use of FDML that have gone unnoticed in the literature and that affect both finite sample peformance and asymptotics. FDML uses the Gaussian likelihood function for first differenced data and parameter estimation is based on the whole domain over which the log-likelihood is …

Returning Attention To Policy Content In Diffusion Study, John M. Fulwider
Returning Attention To Policy Content In Diffusion Study, John M. Fulwider
Department of Political Science: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Policy diffusion research pays virtually no attention to policy content. Yet we should expect content to shape the adoption of any policy--this is what legislators and policy makers, after all, fight about. Thus the extent and speed of diffusion likely critically depend on policy content, which the current literature virtually ignores. This dissertation shows how we can better understand policy diffusion by taking policy content seriously. Paying attention to policy content, including how it is debated and understood by legislators, has immediate payoffs in the sense that two literatures largely ignored until now by diffusion researchers-- policy typologies and policy …
Rethinking Prayer And Health Research: An Exploratory Inquiry On Prayer’S Psychological Dimension, Adrian Andreescu
Rethinking Prayer And Health Research: An Exploratory Inquiry On Prayer’S Psychological Dimension, Adrian Andreescu
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
A brief literature review of cancer survival trials is employed by the author to raise questions
on their design and to bring speculatively into discussion concepts such as “worldview”,
“intentional normative dissociation”, and “psychosomatic plasticity-proneness”. Using prayer’s
psychological dimension as a way to unite such elements opens new fertile perspectives on
the academic study of prayer and health. In this context, it is suggested that a consistent
interdisciplinary research agenda is required in order to understand those biopsychosocial
factors interconnected within the process and outcome of prayer before attempting to
decipher the big answers laying dormant probably within the transpersonal …
Connectedness And Environmental Behavior: Sense Of Interconnectedness And Pro-Environmental Behavior, Robert E. Hoot, Harris Friedman
Connectedness And Environmental Behavior: Sense Of Interconnectedness And Pro-Environmental Behavior, Robert E. Hoot, Harris Friedman
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
The expansion of one’s sense of identity to include various aspects of the world, both human
and non-human, may relate to how one treats the world. This sense of interconnectedness
can be domain specific, as through identification with nature and the future, or very
general, as through an expanded transpersonal identification with all of reality unlimited
by time and space. This study explored the relationship between these two specific and
the more general type of interconnectedness on environmental beliefs and behavior. A
sample of 210 participants completed a battery of interconnectedness measures, including
two specific measures, the Connectedness to Nature …

Mindfulness-Based Substance Abuse Treatment For Incarcerated Youth: A Mixed Method Pilot Study, Sam Himelstein
Mindfulness-Based Substance Abuse Treatment For Incarcerated Youth: A Mixed Method Pilot Study, Sam Himelstein
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
The current study investigated the effects of an 8-week mindfulness-based substance use intervention
on self-reported impulsiveness, perceived drug risk, and healthy self-regulation in a sample of 60
incarcerated youth. Forty-eight participants completed questionnaires pre and post intervention.
Additionally, 16 participants from two of the final 8-week cohorts were interviewed in focus groups
about their experience of the program immediately following its completion. A mixed-method
embedded model was used, in which qualitative data was used in support of quantitative data. Paired
t-tests revealed a significant decrease (p < .01) in impulsiveness and a significant increase (p < .05)
in perceived risk of drug use from pretest to posttest. No …
Why Altered States Are Not Enough: A Perspective From Buddhism, Igor Berkhin, Glenn Hartelius
Why Altered States Are Not Enough: A Perspective From Buddhism, Igor Berkhin, Glenn Hartelius
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Transpersonal psychology has at times employed Buddhist terminology in ways that do not
reflect distinctions that underlie these tightly defined terms. From a Buddhist perspective,
attempts to equate Buddhist terms with language from other traditions are misdirected, and
produce results that no longer represent Buddhism. For example, it is an error to translate
certain Buddhist terms as referring to a shared universal consciousness; Buddhism explicitly
rejects this idea. Nor is it appropriate to assume that the generic, cross-traditional altered
state of nondual awareness postulated in some transpersonally-related circles is in any way
related to nirvana or other advanced states described …
On A Physical Scientific Approach To Transperson Al Psychology, Alan Haas
On A Physical Scientific Approach To Transperson Al Psychology, Alan Haas
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Transpersonal psychology involves an approach to behavior and the self that transcends
ordinary states of mind as well as extends to the larger environment as a whole. Treating
the individual, their mind, and behavior in relation to others and the larger natural system
utilizing properly developed and practically applicable concepts from physics, chemistry, and
biology may provide a successful interpretation that may be more powerful than the standard
views of psychology. For instance, basic concepts such as charge pair attraction‑repulsion,
bonding, and synchronous behavior may be transformed into highly effective and even
“spiritual” concepts that can add sophistication to human …
Ecopsychology, Transpersonal Psychology, And Nonduality, John V. Davis
Ecopsychology, Transpersonal Psychology, And Nonduality, John V. Davis
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Nonduality is at the core of both transpersonal psychology and ecopsychology and provides a
means of finding common ground between these approaches. However, misunderstandings
and the lack of an adequate conceptual language for nonduality have limited the value
of this concept for ecopsychology. Nonduality is presented as a range of experiences and
stages of development in which particulars are perceived and understood as part of an allencompassing
totality. Specifically, nonduality is understood in terms of a self-identity
in which separating boundaries no longer isolate one from other expressions of Being. A
description of nondual dimensions of Being based on the …
Clearing Up Rollo May’S Views Of Transpersonal Psychology And Acknowledging May As An Early Supporter Of Ecopsychology, Mark A. Schroll, John Rowan, Oliver Robinson
Clearing Up Rollo May’S Views Of Transpersonal Psychology And Acknowledging May As An Early Supporter Of Ecopsychology, Mark A. Schroll, John Rowan, Oliver Robinson
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
This paper explores Rollo May’s 1992 reassessment of transpersonal psychology, in which he reverses
his 1986 and 1989 arguments against transpersonal psychology. Equally relevant, this paper shows
that May was actually interested in supporting what is now called ecopsychology. Schroll (following
Alan Drengson and Arne Naess) now refers to ecopsychology as transpersonal ecosophy. This paper
offers a thorough examination of several key concerns that May had regarding his reservations
toward accepting transpersonal psychology’s legitimacy, and includes May’s vigorous discussion with
Ken Wilber. Wilber’s discussion with Kirk Schneider’s 1987 and 1989 critique of transpersonal
psychology is also examined. Likewise Albert Ellis’ …
