Should Mom be Constrained in the Best Interests of the Fetus?

There is a growing judicial conundrum

Rights Within the Therapeutic Relationship

My thesis is that the failure of these rights to be implemented in any meaningful way for persons with mental illness is the result of a narrow image of rights which emphasizes the individual, valuing autonomy independent of care, and sacrifices relationship and the connection to the community. By conceiving of rights in such a way, we strengthen the individual but do not address the reality of the context or relationship within which persons with mental illness will actualize these rights. This failure to recognize and account for the disequilibrium within therapeutic relationships and the necessity of caring within such relationships makes implementation of rights, as expressed in this individual autonomous model, impossible. . In this paper I intend to explore the development of the rights afforded to persons with mental illness through the germinal cases in which those rights were articulated. I will then describe a current effort to articulate a new image of rights which attempts to account for the necessary balancing of individual rights and the need for relationship and connection to a community to fully realize those rights. Finally, I will apply the new image to the context of persons with mental illness and describe how the new image might be the basis for a fuller implementation of the rights afforded to persons with mental illness

Data catalog series for space science and applications flight missions. Volume 6: Master index volume

The main purpose of the data catalog series is to provide descriptive references to data generated by space science flight missions. The data sets described include all of the actual holdings of the Space Science Data Center (NSSDC), all data sets for which direct contact information is available, and some data collections held and serviced by foreign investigators, NASA, and other U.S. government agencies. This volume contains the Master Index. The following spacecraft are included: Mariner, Pioneer, Pioneer Venus, Venera, Viking, Voyager, and Helios. Separate indexes to the planetary and interplanetary missions are also provided

A Mixed Method Study Investigating High School Teacher-Student Perceptions of Teacher-Caring Behaviors

The teacher-student relationship, which sociologists believe to be the driving force of change in student learning experiences, has largely been overlooked and underdeveloped. As Noddings (2003) explained, in teacher-caring behavior, the carer must take on a dual perspective and see the world not only through the lens of the carer but also through the lens of the one being cared for. In this study, a mixed-method approach was used to investigate what high school teachers and students perceive to be caring-teacher behaviors. The purpose was to gain a better understanding of the factors that contribute to the development of caring teacher-student relationships. Results from the 22-item Likert-type survey and the two open-ended questions were grouped into four main themes: Classroom Management, Academic Support, Interpersonal Relationships, and Sense of Respect and Trust. A significant difference was found between what teachers and students perceived to be caring-teacher behaviors. Although both teachers and students rated behaviors in the Interpersonal Relationship theme as important, teachers rated them the most important over all other themes. Students, however, rated behaviors in the Academic Support theme as the most important when describing caring teachers. Although teachers went over and beyond to help students succeed because they felt that this was their call of duty, students saw them as caring behaviors

The Maimie Letters

Relevance in history today is often identified with the discovery of the history of the nonelite classes, those men, women and children of the past who belonged to the vast but inarticulate majority. With the aid of the computer, the scanty evidence: birth, marriage and death dates in town, county or church registers; addresses in city directories; and entries in hospital, prison and census records is yielding information on the economic and social conditions, geographic mobility, and marriage and childbearing patterns of the lives of those who hitherto have been silent because they left no traditional written sources for historical research. Yet, despite sophisticated analysis, the poor and the middle class, the minorities, the women and the chil dren, the sick, the law-breakers, indeed all except those few men, and fewer women, who won fame, fortune or notoriety, remain statistics or composite constructs without life or personality
