Nature of the Problem of Police Brutality

To properly appraise the oft-bruited problem of police brutality, one should first consider how investigatory duties came to devolve upon the police in the United States

Job Refusal in Unemployment Compensation Claims

Unemployment compensation is a type of insurance. As such, it does not cover losses intentionally incurred by claimants. However, the spirit of the Social Security Act of 1935 and of similar laws enacted in all the states affect the qualification or disqualification of a claimant who refuses a job. The broad discretionary powers of administrators and boards of review preclude definitive answer. We must be content with awareness of the tolerance limits indicated by stare decisis and commission rules

Reaching the Unsaved through the Sunday School

The purpose of this study was to show the need for evangelism in the Sunday school. The objectives of this study were: 1) to provide a plan to find the lost, 2) to show how the lost may be enlisted in the Sunday school, 2) to show ways to encourage regular attendance of all scholars, and 4) to win the lost in the Sunday school sessions or prepare them through Bible study and encourage church attendance so they may be won through other channels of the church

Filling in the Gaps in Phenology and Life History of the Cumberland Plateau Salamander (Plethodon kentucki)

The Cumberland Plateau Salamander, Plethodon kentucki, is a member of the Plethodon glutinosus complex comprising 16 sibling species, which are best differentiated by range. Few studies have been conducted to gain information on the natural history of P. kentucki. To alleviate this, two sites at Beech Fork State Park in Wayne County, West Virginia were used to study the salamander’s general life history with emphasis on reproduction, phenology, and population size. At each site, three 20m x 20m sample plots were arranged based on viability of the habitat for P. kentucki. Ground searches of all cover objects within the plots were conducted once every two to three weeks, preferably on or within 24 hours of rainy nights, between 7:00 and 23:00. Searching under cover objects, which included rocks, logs, and heavy leaf litter, was the best method for finding individuals. Upon capture, salamander sex, age class, and reproductive status were determined. Before releasing specimens, photographs were taken of the lateral surfaces of the animal to be used as a marking technique for recaptures. Environmental variables collected included soil moisture, soil pH, soil temperature, air moisture, air temperature, and precipitation. Environmental data were compared to total captures of P. kentucki to determine correlation between phenology and environmental conditions

Devaluation as a strategy to address behaviourally whether fish feel

Failures of behavioural studies to address the question of whether fish feel pain have left scientists arguing on the basis of other criteria, including anatomy. I draw an analogy with a debate concerning the breadth of stimulus-response learning among nonhuman animals and propose an experiment that harks back to one solution to that debate: the devaluation paradigm. By changing the value of a noxious stimulus after training, one can differentiate a directly evoked response from a response to an intermediate representation, the pain
