Sexual Divisions in Law

I remember Katherine O\u27Donovan vividly. She was a young law lecturer at Queen\u27s University Belfast when I was a first-year student there seventeen years ago. Law, on the whole, does not provide a large number of women to stimulate one\u27s aspirations, but Katherine O\u27Donovan would have been outstanding in any context. She was clever and as beautiful as her name. She has written an outstanding book

B770: Nutritional Assessment of Elementary School Children

One goal of health education is to diminish problems through prevention of disease rather than through intervention or treatment. Physicians and health scientists have identified such nutrition-related diseases as obesity, atherosclerosis, dental disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and cancer as conditions that may be affected by lifelong dietary habits. The purpose of this bulletin is to describe procedures for assessing nutritional status of school children utilizing anthropometric measurements and dietary intake records and to report the findings.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_bulletin/1104/thumbnail.jp

Investigation of Commercial Milk Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Kits: Specificity and Utility for Residues of Foods Subjected to Proteolysis During Processing

Analytical methods, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), are used to detect and quantify residues from allergenic sources in food products. However, ELISAs have not been validated for use in foods that have been exposed to proteolysis. This thesis explores the specificities, sensitivities, and capabilities of commercially-available milk ELISA kits for detecting milk residues in cheeses that have undergone varying degrees of proteolysis. The specificity, accuracy, and consistency of twelve commercially-available milk ELISA kits for individual milk proteins and commonly used milk-derived ingredients, including α-,β-, and κ-casein, β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin, non-fat dry milk, sodium caseinate, and whey protein concentrate were evaluated. ELISA kits exhibited targeted specificities to milk proteins as opposed to broad-spectrum detection. Kits were able to detect milk residues in all derivative ingredients, although the kits were not quantitatively accurate. Further, ELISA kits were used to investigate the effects of proteolysis in Cheddar cheese during aging. As cheese ripened and proteolysis continued, fewer milk residues were detected in samples using commercial milk ELISA kits. In a survey of retail cheeses produced with different degrees of proteolysis, the lowest concentration of milk residues were detected in Blue cheese, while Mozzarella cheese contained the highest milk residues. Emmentaler, Brie, and Limburger cheeses were also evaluated. Five samples of enzyme-modified cheese (EMC) were assessed for their milk residue content; again, not all ELISA kits were able to detect milk residues in samples that had been subjected to extensive proteolysis. The recommendation of specific ELISA kits for detecting milk residues is highly product-specific. Current commercially-available milk ELISA kits are capable of detecting milk residues in a variety of cheeses, including some that have been exposed to extensive proteolysis. However, the quantitative accuracy of commercial milk ELISA kits is jeopardized when proteolysis has occurred. Some ELISAs may have further application to monitor proteolysis and indicate cheese maturity during ripening because of their specificities. Advisers: Stephen L. Taylor and Joseph L. Baumer

Taking the Right Path: A Two-Year Journey through School Turnaround by Katherine O.

The researcher conducted a statistical examination of a two-year journey through school turnaround to identify factors that had a direct impact on student performance on state exams. Following 31 students through sixth and seventh grades, the researcher collected data in alignment with five target areas for school improvement defined by the state of Missouri: (1) student performance, (2) highly qualified staff, (3) facilities, support and instructional resources, (4) parent and community involvement, and (5) governance and leadership. Applying ANOVA and z-tests at a 95% confidence interval, the researcher analyzed the data to examine for statistically significant differences in scores on the Communication Arts and Mathematics MAP exams, levels of reading proficiency, attendance rates, and discipline, year to year. The researcher found significant increases in students’ Mathematics MAP scores, students’ reading on grade level, and referrals. Using a multiple regression analysis the researcher also analyzed data for relationships between multiple independent variables and students’ scores on the MAP exams. An examination of the Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient provided information as to which variables had significant relationships with the students’ MAP scores and the coefficient of determination gave indication as to possible percentages of contribution each variable had in the resulting MAP test scores. This study confirmed that student’s grade point averages were the only variables that maintained consistent significant relationships to the students’ scores on both Communication Arts and Mathematics MAP exams during both years of the study. In addition to the consistent contribution of the students GPA to their MAP results, the study also found that in 2012, iii students’ enrollment in a reading class significantly contributed to their Communication Arts MAP scores and attendance had a significant relationship to their Mathematics MAP scores. The concluding reflections in the study were a result of a detailed examination of the statistical analyses in alignment with current turnaround research. While there is a need for further research in the area of school turnaround, this study contributed to a growing field of literature on effective and ineffective school turnaround practices

Evaluation of performance and maximum length of continuous decks in simple-span bridges

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the performance history of continuous bridge decks in the State of Georgia, to determine why the current design detail works, to recommend a new design detail if necessary, and to recommend the maximum and/or optimum lengths of continuous bridge decks. The continuous bridge decks have continuous reinforcement over the junction of two edge beams with a construction joint for crack control. The current technical literature and current practices and design procedures were synthesized and summarized. GDOT maintenance reports were reviewed, and field evaluations were conducted to determine the performance of the continuous deck detail. The effects of bridge movement due to thermal strains, shrinkage, and live loads were considered in the analytical studies to better understand the demands placed on the GDOT continuous deck detail. A summary of the design and length recommendations was provided upon completion of the research.M.S.Committee Co-Chair: Donald White; Committee Co-Chair: Lawrence Kahn; Committee Member: Roberto Leo

Remembering the Perpetrators: Nationalist Postmemory and Andrés Trapiello’s Ayer no más

In the last decade, much scholarly work has been dedicated to “postmemory,” a term coined by Holocaust scholar Marianne Hirsch and defined as “the response of the second generation to the trauma of the first.” This framework, originally applied to the creative work of the second generation of Holocaust victims, has also been used to treat the legacy of pain of Spanish Civil War victims. In literature, the majority of 21st century Spanish Civil War novels center upon the Republican victim (see Bertrand de Muñoz “Tendencias”). Andrés Trapiello’s novel Ayer no más counters this trend, as the protagonist is the son of a Falangist who participated in the murder of innocents during the war. The main character’s journey is not one towards greater empathy with Franco’s victims and/or recuperation of the memory of the atrocities committed, but rather towards a more complete understanding of his father. This article analyzes the motifs of nostalgia, desencanto, and empathy in Trapiellos’ most recent novel within the larger context of late 20th and 21st century Spanish Civil War fiction. It also explores the ethical consequences of using a postmemorial framework for perpetrators

An Ecological View of Language Choice in a Bilingual Program: A Dynamic Model of Social Structures

The present paper proposes a Dynamic Model of Social Structures as a model of language choice which highlights and synthesizes two significant themes repeated throughout the history of language choice research: agency and function. This model stems from ecological frameworks advanced in the fields of language planning (Hornberger, 2002) and language learning (Lam, 2007). Central to the model is the notion of language as a social structure (Gafaranga, 2005) among infinite other social structures (e.g., broader society, social network, local context, and individual linguistic behaviors). The Dynamic Model of Social Structures integrates the concept of agency and function in demonstrating how social structures influence one another and how individuals enact social identities through the discursive functions of their individual language choices. Research from a primary school Spanish immersion program in Arizona illustrates the application of this model and its value as a framework especially suited for classroom language choice research
