A Study Of Twenty-Nine Home Demonstration Clubs In Lee County, Arkansas

Home demonstration work is an essential part of the educational program of the Cooperative Extension Service in Agriculture and Home Economics of the Smith-Lever Act of May 8, 1914. The act gave authority for the United States Department of Agriculture and State Land-Grant Colleges to join forces in establishing and maintaining an out-of-school educational program. The main purpose of the program is to aid men, women, and youth in applying research results and other accepted practices in improving their farm homes and communities. The basic philosophy of the program has been to help people help themselves. The home demonstration agent works with all farm families and community leaders, also with urban families in helping them to analyze family living and to develop programs that will aid them in making any desired changes

Stand Up and Be Counted: The Black Athlete, Black Power and The 1968 Olympic Project for Human Rights

The dissertation examines the Olympic Project for Human Rights (OPHR), a Black Power attempt to build a black boycott of the 1968 US Olympic team that ultimately culminated in the infamous Black Power fists protest at the 1968 Olympics. The work challenges the historiography, which concludes that the OPHR was a failure because most black Olympic-caliber athletes participated in the 1968 games, by demonstrating that the foremost purpose of the OPHR was to raise public awareness of “institutionalized racism,” the accumulation of poverty and structural and cultural racism that continued to denigrate black life following landmark 1960s civil rights legislation. Additionally, the dissertation demonstrates that activist black athletes of the era were also protesting the lack of agency and discrimination traditionally forced upon blacks in integrated, yet white-controlled sports institutions. The dissertation argues that such movements for “dignity and humanity,” as progressive black activists of the 1960s termed it, were a significant component of the Black Power movement. The dissertation also examines the proliferation of the social belief that the accomplishments of blacks in white-controlled sports fostered black advancement and argues that the belief has origins in post-Reconstruction traditional black uplift ideology, which suggested that blacks who demonstrated “character” and “manliness” improved whites’ images of blacks, thus advancing the race. OPHR activists argued that the belief, axiomatic by 1968, was the foremost obstacle to attracting support for a black Olympic boycott. The manuscript concludes with a discussion of the competing meaning and representations of Smith and Carlos’s protest at the Olympics

Tiny Humans, Huge Environments: All The Sense’S Coming Into Play

Introduction The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a busy overwhelming environment that differs from the womb. In the womb, an infant is protected from noises and bright lights, tasting and smelling the mother\u27s diet, feeling movement and pushing against the mother as they grow (Altimier & Phillips, 2016). It is ideal for a premature infant\u27s neurodevelopment to have the NICU environment mimic the womb. Two models were selected to help guide the product development, one occupation-based model and one NICU-based model. Methodology The Person, Environment, Occupation (PEO) model Law et al. (1996) was selected to be used as it takes three concepts into consideration when developing a product. The Neonatal Integrative Developmental Care (NIDC) model was selected as it is a NICU-based model that takes aspects of the SENSE program and PEO model into consideration within the model’s seven core measures. Results Tiny humans, huge environments: All the sense\u27s coming into play is an evidence-based resource that was created for facilities that are beginning program planning for new construction or remodeling. It provides information to take into consideration in order to have an environment conducive to providing positive sensory experiences for the infant. The PEO model and the NIDC model were used to create the product which contains six chapters outlining different information that should be taken into consideration within the NICU. Two appendixes located at the back of the product contain an care team and parent satisfaction survey that can be administered after construction is completed and the SENSE program is implemented, to ensure the employees and families are satisfied with the environment. Significance The information provided by this product will support NICUs by providing recommendations to take into consideration when program planning for new construction or remodeling takes place to ensure preterm infant’s receive sensory stimulation that closely resembles stimulation they receive in the womb. Conclusion. With the NICU environment being busy and overwhelming, the environment is a very critical factor that needs to be taken into consideration when trying to assimilate the NICU environment to the womb. The parents, multidisciplinary team, and infants have different occupations that they all will participate in to ensure the infants receive appropriate neurological, physical, and emotional exposure

Mean magnetic field generation in sheared rotators

A generalized mean magnetic field induction equation for differential rotators is derived, including a compressibility, and the anisotropy induced on the turbulent quantities from the mean magnetic field itself and a mean velocity shear. Derivations of the mean field equations often do not emphasize that there must be anisotropy and inhomogeneity in the turbulence for mean field growth. The anisotropy from shear is the source of a term involving the product of the mean velocity gradient and the cross-helicity correlation of the isotropic parts of the fluctuating velocity and magnetic field, \lb{\bfv}\cdot{\bfb}\rb^{(0)}. The full mean field equations are derived to linear order in mean fields, but it is also shown that the cross-helicity term survives to all orders in the velocity shear. This cross-helicity term can obviate the need for a pre-existing seed mean magnetic field for mean field growth: though a fluctuating seed field is necessary for a non-vanishing cross-helicity, the term can produce linear (in time) mean field growth of the toroidal field from zero mean field. After one vertical diffusion time, the cross-helicity term becomes sub-dominant and dynamo exponential amplification/sustenance of the mean field can subsequently ensue. The cross-helicity term should produce odd symmetry in the mean magnetic field, in contrast to the usually favored even modes of the dynamo amplification in sheared discs. This may be important for the observed mean field geometries of spiral galaxies. The strength of the mean seed field provided by the cross- helicity depends linearly on the magnitude of the cross-helicity.Comment: 15 pages, LaTeX, matches version accepted to ApJ, minor revision
