Effects of selected variables on prices received for calves in the Cookville Demonstrational Feeder Calf Sales

Records of 1,049 lots of steers and heifers sold in the Cookeville Demonstrational Feeder Calf Sales held each fall from 1964 through 1968 were studied to determine the effects of grade, sex, pen size, and the average weight per pen on the prices received per hundredweight and on the prices received per head for feeder calves sold. Choice calves sold for an average of $2.24 per hundredweight more than calves of the medium grade. The choice calves sold also for an average of$0.60 per hundredweight more than the calves in the good grade. Medium calves sold for an average of $1.64 less per hundred weight than good calves. Choice calves sold for$11.45 more per head than the medium grade calves. The choice calves sold also for $3.31 more per head than those calves grading good. Medium calves sold for an average of$8.14 less per head than calves grading good. Steer calves sold for significantly (P \u3c .01) higher prices than did heifer calves. Steer calves, on the average, sold for $3.64 and$15.14 more per hundredweight and per head, respectively, than did heifers of a comparable grade. The data indicate that calves in pen sizes greater than 91 sold for more per hundredweight and more per head than calves in any other pen size group. However, the differences in price per head were not significant. When the price received per hundredweight was regressed on the average weight per pen, all other sources of variation held constant; these data indicate that as average weight per pen increased, the price received per hundredweight decreased. When the price received per head was regressed on the average weight per pen; within the range of the data, as average weight per pen increased, so did the average price received per head

"...In view of impending conflict..." : the role of Southern Christianity in sectionalism, secession, and Southern defeat

Written for English 4310, taught by Professor Maureen Konkle, Fall 2011 semester.Includes video presentation by author. Author is introduced by Jim Cogswell, Director of Libraries.The second place price for the 2012 Undergraduate Research Paper Contest was awarded for this paper by Donald Glen Cole which examines the role of religion prior to and during the Civil War."Throughout the antebellum period and into the Civil War, Southern Christianity played a pivotal but poorly explored role in driving the South to secession and shaping the national identity of the Confederacy. It was instrumental in creating the consensus and drive that led the South to leave the Union in an attempt to preserve their "peculiar institution" of slavery. The commonly-held beliefs of the southern church, that Christ was resurrected and that the South were a people chosen by God, formed much of the foundation of nascent Confederate nationalism. However, the South's Christian character was not enough to hold together a nation fracturing under the strain of defeat, let alone lead the Confederacy to victory and independence."--Page 1

Oxford graduates' perceptions of a global health master's degree: a case study

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>Low and middle-income countries suffer an ongoing deficit of trained public health workers, yet optimizing postgraduate education to best address these training needs remains a challenge. Much international public health education literature has focused on global capacity building and/or the description of innovative programmes, but less on quality and appropriateness.</p> <p>Case description</p> <p>The MSc in Global Health Science at the University of Oxford is a relatively new, full-time one year master's degree in international public health. The programme is intended for individuals with significant evidence of commitment to health in low and middle income countries. The intake is small, with only about 25 students each year, but they are from diverse professional and geographical backgrounds. Given the diversity of their backgrounds, we wanted to determine the extent to which student background influenced their perceptions of the quality of their learning experience and their learning outcomes. We conducted virtual or face-to-face semi-structured individual interviews with students who had graduated from the course at least one year previously. Of the 2005 to 2007 intake years, 52 of 63 graduates (83%) were interviewed. We used thematic analysis to analyze the data, then linked results to student characteristics.</p> <p>Discussion</p> <p>The findings from the evaluation suggested that all MSc GHS graduates who spoke with us, irrespective of background, appreciated the curriculum structure drawing on the strengths of a small, diverse student group, and the contribution the programme had made to their breadth of understanding and their careers. This evaluation also demonstrated the feasibility of an educational evaluation conducted several years after programme completion and when graduates were 'in the field'. This is important in ensuring international public health programmes are relevant to the day-to-day work of public health practitioners and researchers in low and middle-income countries.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Feedback from students, when they had either resumed their positions 'in the field' or pursued further training, was useful in identifying valuable and positive aspects of the programme and also in identifying areas for further action and development by the programme's management and by individual teaching staff.</p
